Prince Harry is opening about about his move to Canada in late 2019 and the toll it took on his mental health.
In a new MasterClass, which is a streaming platform for online learning, the Duke of Sussex said he experienced an “adrenaline crash” after relocating from England to Vancouver Island in 2019. “It was myself, my wife and our son Archie, and we moved to Canada to get some space away from everything just to be able to think,” Harry said, according to People and The Hollywood Reporter.
RCIPosted: October 8, 2026 11:46 AMCatharine Tunney (new window) · CBC NewsThe federal government has withdrawn sponsorship of a European disinformation conference that includes panels discussing the U. S. government as a foreign interference risk. Samantha Lafleur, a spokesperson for Global Affairs Canada (GAC), said the government took issue with the framing of some panels at the event organized by EU DisinfoLab, a non-profit based in Brussels.
The conference features panels about the U. S. as a source of foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI), a phenomenon where foreign governments or actors on their behalf manipulate information to confuse, divide or mislead the public and erode confidence in institutions.
The world is changing rapidly. In response, a confident Canada is choosing to build. We are building major infrastructure projects – new ports, mines, highways, and clean energy corridors that will transform our economy and unlock billions of dollars in new investment. We are doubling our grid through our National Electricity Strategy, to harness Canada’s electricity advantage and provide more clean, reliable, and affordable power for Canadians. Heating is one of the biggest expenses for Canadians during the winter months, and too often that money goes to the most expensive and least efficient ways to heat a home. Over seven million households in Canada still heat their homes with oil, propane, diesel, electric baseboards, or outdated furnaces. Our government is laser-focused on giving Canadians options to lower their energy costs. That’s why, as part of our National Electricity Strategy, we committed to help one million Canadian households make retrofits. To that end, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, today announced a $2 billion investment to deliver one million home retrofits across Canada.

After a summer when domestic travel held a particularly strong position, Canadians are widening their horizons again this fall. Canada still leads, but Mexico and other international destinations are drawing more interest, putting Canadian destinations in a more competitive field.
The picture is broader than destination choice alone: Canadians are travelling with value in mind, hesitation around the United States remains, and AI is becoming a more established planning tool. Together, these shifts point to a traveller weighing more options, more trade-offs and more information before deciding where to go.

Donald Trump’s bargaining skills have never been troubled by self-doubt. He knows how to apply pressure, spot weakness, and extract concessions that lesser dealmakers would leave on the table—or so he has spent decades telling us. The outcome in Greenland offers a chance to measure that reputation against the fine print.
The US, Denmark, and Greenland have reached an agreement that will halt Trump’s threats with very few changes
Canada has long punched above its weight in clinical trial activity: the rigorous, multi-stage research studies that give Canadians early access to breakthrough treatments. For years, we’ve led the G7 in clinical trials per capita – a point of national pride – but that advantage is slipping away, and fast.
In 2024, clinical trial activity in Canada dropped by 11 per cent. We fell three spots globally, from fifth to eighth place, in the number of industry-run, Phase 3 clinical trials, typically the final round of testing before a new medicine can be approved and launched each year.

RCIPosted: October 8, 2026 9:54 AMBrett Bundale (new window) · The Canadian Press Canada's industry minister said Wednesday Stelco Holdings Inc. cannot use the trade war to justify cutting jobs it committed to when it bought the Hamilton-based steel plant, particularly when the head of its U. S. parent company has publicly backed steel tariffs. Melanie Joly told reporters that the chief executive of U. S.-based Cleveland-Cliffs has supported steel tariffs and therefore cannot characterize the company's plan to lay off up to 500 workers due to tariffs and market pressures as beyond its control.

October 9, 2026 (Toronto, ON) – Head Coach of Canada’s Women’s Rugby Team Kevin Rouet has selected 31 players for the Rugby Rematch Tour, presented by Canadian Tire, part of the WXV Global Series. Canada returns home to play in Toronto and Ottawa this October, marking the first time the team will play on home soil since finishing second at the 2025 Rugby World Cup. The tour will feature Canada, currently ranked third in the world, facing off against world champion England on October 16 at BMO Field in Toronto and October 23 at TD Place in Ottawa. Tickets are available HERE. “We are very excited to be back in Canada with the chance to play in front of our fans,” said Rouet. “Games on home soil are extra special for the players and staff. Everyone is grinding and working hard to make sure we are at our best when we face England in these next two games. The players were not satisfied with the tie against England last month.
8 October 2026Hillary RichardAlamy(Credit: Alamy)Born following a nasty case of frostbite, the Sourtoe Cocktail has become a rite of passage for locals and visitors – and it might just be the world's most unusual drink. On my second night in Canada's northern Yukon Territory, a bartender at the Eldorado Hotel pulled out a pair of tongs, plucked a mummified toe from a silver tray, plunged it into a glass of alcohol and dropped it into my glass of Yukon Jack whisky with a plunk. "Whose toe is that? " I asked. "And which toe is it? ""Not really sure," he said, with a sly smile. "It's a gnarly one, though. "The dehydrated, salt-preserved digit was black and shrivelled. In its heyday, it may have been a well-kept pinky. Or perhaps one of the less celebrated middle toes, finally getting their spotlight. Warning: This article contains images and descriptions that some may find upsetting. I was in Dawson City, a 2,300-person former gold mining hub located 330 miles (531km) from the nearest actual city, about to try the famous Sourtoe Cocktail. This two-ingredient drink (a shot of whisky and… a toe) has been a tradition here for more than 50 years.
PM Carney says Canada will miss its near-term emissions targets, as the federal government shifts climate policy to prioritize affordability and energy growth. OTTAWA — Canada’s oil and gas sector accounted for a lower level of emissions in 2025, despite boosts in production, while the country’s overall emissions ticked up thanks to increased reliance on natural gas to heat homes. Those are among the findings in the Canadian Climate Institute’s annual national emissions report, released Thursday. The institute, which receives three-quarters of its funding from the federal government, is releasing early estimates of Canada’s year greenhouse gas emissions. Ottawa’s estimates for 2025 are expected in April. The institute found Canada’s total emissions increased in 2025 by about one per cent in 2025 to 691 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to the emissions produced by 161 million gas-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year.
