The CBC is reporting that Cheese Magic has had to throw out $1,000 worth of cheese and are currently being investigated for listeria contamination, after a pregnant woman allegedly ate cheese from the store and contracted listeriosis. According to Cheese Magic's Establishment Inspection Report from Toronto Health, the store was given only a conditional pass on Tuesday's inspection for a whole host of problems. (Slashfood was in the store yesterday, noting that "the long expanse [of cheese] that is usually 2–3 rows deep and a few feet tall was just gone....So much for room-temperature cheese.") Torontoist's Jonathan Goldsbie also spotted new conditional passes on Global Cheese and Mendel's Creamery—two other cheese shops in Kensington—as of Wednesday night, and spotted CBC's cameras outside of Global Cheese this morning. The cheesepocalypse is nigh!

The Democratic party officially nominated Barack Obama as their candidate last night, which is news in the way that New Year's Day is news, except that at the Democratic National Convention nobody was visibly hung over or wondering what, exactly, they did with their underwear and where it went. Well, actually Bill Clinton was there, so maybe that's not entirely true.

The listeria-tainted meat recall grows even bigger as the pre-made sandwiches available at Mac's Milk stores are now under suspicion. This seems suspicious to Torontoist, seeing as how the sandwiches at Mac's are clearly made out of plastic. Meanwhile, over a dozen deaths are linked to the outbreak, and your hippie cousin called you up and said "I told you this is what happens when you don't let the animals roam free, man. Hey, do you have any weed?"
