🚨 Oh no, the Flock cameras were stolen! But fear not, the #WPD decided to "trust" the public instead of replacing them. 😂 Because who needs security when you have blind faith, right? 🙈

Canada’s cloned-food pause is not the same as a green light
A Canadian food policy debate is raising one blunt question: should shoppers be told when cloning is part of the supply chain?Dear Cherubs, the viral version of this story is neat, dramatic, and a little too eager to jump the queue. Health Canada did propose changing how foods from cloned cattle and swine are regulated, but the department later said it had indefinitely paused the update after receiving significant feedback from consumers and industry. As of that Nov. 19 update, cloned-cattle and cloned-swine foods still remain subject to the novel-food assessment, and Health Canada says there are currently no approved cloned products on the Canadian market.
WHAT ACTUALLY CHANGED
The proposal came out of a 2023 scientific opinion that concluded foods derived from healthy cloned cattle and swine, and their offspring, are as safe and nutritious as foods from traditionally bred animals. On that basis, Health Canada proposed removing those foods from the “novel food” category, which would have ended the pre-market notification route for those products under the Food and Drug Regulations. In bureaucratic English, that is less “new food on the shelf tomorrow” and more “we may stop treating these items like regulatory special guests.”
The proposal was also described by Health Canada as consistent with the interpretation of other trusted jurisdictions, including the United States, Europe, Japan, and New Zealand. That matters because food regulators love a good international confidence boost almost as much as they love a consultation document. Still, Health Canada’s current position is the pause button, not the checkout button.
WHY PEOPLE ARE SIDE-EYEING IT
The backlash makes sense. Global News reported that critics worried consumers could end up buying cloned-animal products without labels, while duBreton, a Quebec pork producer, publicly pushed for mandatory labeling and transparency. This is not really a food-poisoning panic; it is a trust-and-choice argument, which is arguably even more awkward for regulators because it cannot be solved with a lab coat and a press release.
Supporters of the proposal have a different line: if the science says the food is as safe and nutritious as conventional meat, then cloned-origin products should not need a separate treatment forever. That position is reflected in Health Canada’s own consultation materials, which say the policy update was being considered because the science underpinned a conclusion of safety.
The real headache is that food regulation is never just about chemistry. It is about whether shoppers feel informed, whether brands can protect their reputation, and whether “same as conventional” still sounds reassuring when the origin story is doing cartwheels in the background. As noted by thisclaimer.com, the bigger issue is not simply what is in the package, but whether people believe they are being told the full story.
So the honest read is this: Canada did not quietly unleash cloned meat and dairy on an unsuspecting public. It proposed a policy change, the public noticed, and Health Canada hit pause. That is a very different story from “it is already in your fridge,” though admittedly it is less catchy. Another way to put it: the debate is real, the labels are not settled, and for now the cloned-food aisle remains more political drama than grocery reality.

LYNNWOOD—The Lynnwood City Council voted unanimously on Monday, February 22, to terminate its contract with Flock Safety, scrapping a controversial network of automated license plate recognition cameras that had drawn months of fierce community backlash over privacy invasions and potential misuse for immigration enforcement. The Council’s decision was a swift reversal for a program once hailed as a crime-fighting tool but ultimately undone by eroded public trust and lapses in data security.

Restoring DHS: Bipartisan roots and public trust – The Hill
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem listens to President Donald Trump speak during a cabinet meeting at the White House, Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026, in Washington. (AP Photo / Evan Vucci)Opinion>Opinions – National Security
The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill
Return the Homeland Security Department to its bipartisan roots
by Jane Harman, opinion contributor – 01/31/26 11:00 AM ET
In the early evening of Sept. 11, 2001, I stood with my colleagues on the steps of the U.S. Capitol and sang “God Bless America.” In that moment, we were not Democrats or Republicans. We were just Americans, determined to respond to all that had happened and ensure such an attack would never happen again. That bipartisan resolve produced two of the most significant reforms in a generation: the Department of Homeland Security and the Director of National Intelligence. I was one of the legislators who helped design them.
Today, the Department of Homeland Security is facing a grave crisis, with its enforcement agencies having killed two American citizens in Minneapolis this month. Public confidence in Homeland Security has collapsed, and congressional support for its embattled secretary, Kristi Noem, is eroding by the day.
A fight over Homeland Security funding brought the government to the brink of shutdown before a tentative two-week deal was reached Thursday but the fundamental crisis remains unresolved.
The solution is for the Department of Homeland Security to return to its bipartisan roots and embrace its mission of protecting America, rather than pursuing an agenda that has shattered public trust and caused the agency to drift from its core purpose.
The 9/11 Commission identified catastrophic failures that made the attacks possible. Intelligence agencies hoarded information. The CIA tracked two hijackers to Malaysia but never told the FBI they had entered the U.S. All 19 hijackers had entered on legal visas, many with applications containing detectable false statements. The verdict was damning: We had failed to connect the dots.
The Department of Homeland Security was one of two major reforms to ensure these failures would not be repeated. Immigration enforcement was placed within the new department because it is a national security function. The reforms were hard-fought, but we worked through our disagreements. The Senate passed the final legislation 90-9.
For more than two decades, the department operated as we intended, above partisan politics. Michael Chertoff was confirmed as secretary 98-0. Leaders were apolitical, chosen for competence. The work was sometimes uneven, but it was professional. And by the measure that matters most, it succeeded: there has been no catastrophic terrorist attack on American soil.
That tradition has now been abandoned. According to the Cato Institute, nearly three-quarters of those detained by ICE have no criminal conviction. Only 5 percent have been convicted of a violent crime. The administration promised to deport “the worst of the worst.” Instead, ICE has shifted resources away from violent offenders toward mass arrests that generate headlines but do not make Americans safer.
Meanwhile, the department’s attention has drifted from its core mission. Its own threat assessment warns that China, Russia and Iran continue to target our critical infrastructure. The intelligence community has warned that ISIS is attempting high-profile attacks in the West. These threats have not gone away just because we have chosen to focus elsewhere.
The other institution born from Sept. 11 — the Director of National Intelligence — faces a parallel crisis. Tulsi Gabbard was apparently excluded from planning the operation that removed Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro. Her appearance this week at an FBI raid on a Georgia elections office raised serious questions about how the nation’s “Joint Commander” over 16 intelligence agencies is spending her time. The solution to both crises is the same: restore bipartisan consensus and apolitical leadership.
Two things must happen. First, the department needs new leadership committed to professional standards and public trust. Second, Congress must come together on reforms. To move past the current funding impasse, Democrats have proposed reasonable steps: body cameras, visible identification, clear rules on the use of force, independent investigations, and reporting requirements for how the agency spends public money. These reforms matter. But the most important thing the department can do to restore trust is to get out of politics.
