This week, General Mills announced it will remove all artificial colours from its U.S. products, just hours after Kraft Heinz made a similar commitment. Both companies are giving themselves two years to complete the transition — a realistic timeline, given that reformulating food products can be as complex as redesigning a vehicle. It typically takes two to three years to test, approve and scale up new ingredients.
HBO’s Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon says her transgender child — whose grandparents were Holocaust survivors — is “on hunger strike” in support of Gaza.
Nixon’s 28-year-old daughter — who identifies as male and goes by the name Seph Mozes — is “on hunger strike right now” in support of Gaza in the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, the actress told Newsweek.
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Thursday criticized CBC News for changing its description of Taiwan from a country to a “self-ruled island.”
On June 14, Canada’s largest news broadcaster posted an article on the alleged ties between Bliss and Wisdom, a Buddhist group with operations on Prince Edward Island, and the CCP. The piece originally described a high-ranking monk from Taiwan as traveling “between his home country, Prince Edward Island, and China” in 2023 at the invitation of a Buddhist group that reports to the United Front Work Department.

Donald Trump called for a special prosecutor to investigate 2020 election fraud just after the FBI revealed evidence indicating that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) did indeed interfere in the controversial and highly contested election that ended with Joe Biden in office.
The vegetable did not win.
As the U.S. trade war drags, calls grow for Canada to cautiously improve ties with China
As Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government works to reshape its economic policies amid an unpredictable administration south of the border, Canadian businesses that trade with China say Ottawa needs to find ways to expand exports there — and fast.
While the Canada-China relationship has been stymied in recent years, there are signals of relations improving.
Policy for profit every time.
The Rotherham MP has spent over a decade campaigning against child sex abuse by grooming gangs, but has been vilified by some on the left. She tells Alice Thomson of her determination for justice
Sarah Champion did not go into politics to wage war against child sex abuse rings or become a voice for vulnerable teenage girls preyed on by gangs of men of predominantly Pakistani origin who groomed, trafficked and raped them. When she became the Labour MP for Rotherham she did not know they existed.
“I had been running the local children’s hospice as CEO when I became an MP in 2012 and I remember reading an article about this 15-year-old Rotherham girl who had a baby by any of three different men and was seen as a little scrubber, and I thought that’s not right. Then a girl was found dead in a river, and they said she’d gone mad. Finally, a young white girl came to us with a poorly baby and her boyfriend was a much older Asian man; the relationship seemed odd.”
Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to invite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Canada for the G7 has generated a lot of chatter. Unfortunately, there’s a lot that has been missing in the conversation.
For starters, the Indian government’s belief that Canada is soft on extremists seeking to establish an independent Sikh state known as Khalistan isn’t exactly new. In fact, despite the fact I have now entered middle age, it’s about as old as I am. But as India-Canada relations appear to be entering a new phase under Prime Minister Carney, it’s worth considering what we are giving up by welcoming the Modi government back into our good graces.
We are a nation of Fifth Columns forever divided without hope of regaining a unifying identity.
A Republican congressman has claimed he was run off the road by a “deranged” pro-Palestinian protester.
Ohio lawmaker Max Miller said he was forced off the road on his way to work by a man who issued death threats against him and his family before waving a Palestinian flag while driving off.
Mr Miller, who is Jewish, recounted the incident in a video on X and pledged to hold the perpetrator responsible, saying: “I will not hide in the face of this blatant anti-semitic violence”.

Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown says he’s “cautiously optimistic” about the chances of India’s Lawrence Bishnoi gang being designated as a terrorist group after meeting with the public safety minister Wednesday night.
Brown says that he and Peel region police officials met with Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree in Ottawa to discuss the “scourge” of extortion and murders linked to the gang.
We’ve talked about this topic before but as Nate Silver points out today, it probably gets less attention than it should. Let’s just start with the chart so you can refer back to it. As the legend indicates, this is a 0-100 point scale where 100 is “excellent” and 0 is “poor.” As you can see, conservatives are significantly happier than liberals in every subcategory of gender, race, age and education.
On June 12, five individuals are alleged to have attempted to steal a Lamborghini in the early hours of the morning in Vaughan and attempted to break into a person’s dwelling while wearing disguises. A resident of the home is alleged to have discharged a firearm during the incident. Now, that resident is charged with committing criminal offences relating to his possession and use of that firearm.
A US appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump can keep control of National Guard troops he deployed to Los Angeles, despite objections from city leaders and California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Trump deployed the troops in response to widespread protests against his immigration crackdown. Local officials called it an unnecessary provocation.
A three-judge panel on Thursday said he was within his rights to order the troops into service to “protect federal personnel… [and] property”. Trump called it a “big win”.
It’s often said that no one wins in a trade war, but not everyone loses equally, either.
As U.S. President Donald Trump hammers his country’s two closest trading partners with tariffs, the blows are landing much harder on Canada than Mexico.
The number of commercial trucks entering the U.S. from Canada fell 10.5 per cent in May from the year before, according to new data on border traffic released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
