In a first in Canada, a judge has granted an interlocutory injunction to ban two Quebec men from donating their sperm.
The two serial donors — Philippe Normand and his son, Dominik Seelos — have fathered hundreds of children, which came to light in a documentary by Noovo Info.
On Wednesday, Justice Simon Chamberland granted the injunction, which remains in effect until a judgment is rendered in the trial related to the case, Noovo Info reported. Laurie, a mother whose four children were conceived through sperm donated from the two men, has accused them of “fertility fraud” and of violating their dignity “both on contractual grounds and on fundamental rights.” | |

A critical fertiliser shortage threatens global food security amid Iran war.
(...)
Nearly half of the world’s traded urea – the most widely used fertiliser – and large volumes of other fertilisers are exported from Gulf countries via the Strait of Hormuz, making global agriculture highly exposed to any disruption there.
Recent disruptions to gas supplies and shipping have already forced fertiliser plants, which use natural gas to manufacture fertiliser, in the Gulf and beyond to shut or cut their output.
After its LNG facilities were attacked, Qatar’s state-run energy firm, QatarEnergy, halted output at what is the world’s largest urea plant after it shut down gas output.
Since LNG output from Qatar has dropped off, India has cut output from three of its own urea plants. Bangladesh has also shut four out of its five fertiliser factories. | |

As Bryce Harper rounded the bases on his game-tying two-run homer in the eighth inning of Tuesday night's World Baseball Classic final, he exchanged a salute with his commanding officer, third base coach Dino Ebel, then moved to point at the American flag patch on his uniform. He looked at the wrong arm at first, mixing up the Stars and Stripes with the slightly larger Capital One patch on his other sleeve.
That was a fairly representative moment of how unpleasant it was to watch Team USA in this tournament, and why it was a small mercy to watch them lose to Venezuela, 3-2. With all due respect to Comrade Ratto, the nationalistic pride on display by the Americans carried a different tenor than the WBC's other contenders. Of course it would. This game featured a nation that had recently bombed and invaded its opponents'. Rather than making an effort to keep that association at arm's length, Team USA embraced it. They saw what the U.S. men's hockey team did at the Olympics and thought to follow that but have even less fun in the process. | |

Everywhere you look, Democrats are trying to raise taxes on the superrich. It’s the right economic policy—but more than that, it’s the right democracy policy. | |

At the outset of the hearing, Paul said he was not sure about the Oklahoma senator for the role of Homeland Security secretary, given Mullin’s comments. Mullin called the Kentucky Republican a “freaking snake” in February for trying to block the passage of a funding bill and had said he understood why a neighbor attacked Paul in 2017, leaving him with broken ribs and serious respiratory complications.
“Tell it to my face, tell the world why you believe I deserved to be assaulted from behind, have six ribs broken and a damaged lung,” Paul said in his opening statement. “And while you’re at it, explain to the American public why they should trust a man with anger issues to” lead DHS. | |

I called him Rondale Green. Most vets, when they mentor a younger player, it’s that classic big brother / little brother dynamic. But Rondale Moore was never my Little Bro. It was something deeper than that. He got drafted by Arizona in 2021, the same offseason I signed there as a free agent — and his first two years in the league ended up being my last two. So for us, our relationship, it was almost this “NFL circle of life” type thing. I’d always joke with him about how he’s “Rondale Green, my third and oldest kid.” And looking back, that’s probably one of those jokes where it’s funny because it’s based in a feeling that’s true. Man, I swear….. sometimes he really did feel like my son. I hope he knew I really did love him that way. And I guess I just wanted to share a few thoughts with y’all, now that he’s gone. | |
