The Duke of Sussex has been told he can no longer stay at Buckingham Palace, throwing his forthcoming visit into chaos.
The development came on Monday morning, shortly after the Duke’s team had revealed that he had accepted an offer to stay at the royal residence.
Only minutes after that decision had been announced, and just hours before he was due to arrive in the UK, a palace source indicated that the invitation had been accepted too late.
I wonder if the rumours of money trouble are true?
German shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) is expected to be Canada’s preferred choice to build the navy’s new fleet of submarines, sources confirm to CBC News.
Prime Minister Mark Carney will be in Halifax later today where he’ll put an end to long-running speculation about the future of the multi-billion dollar program which will determine the navy’s future.
I’m liking the Korean Turtle Ships as consolation prize for the surface fleet’s replenishment given the U-Boats have won the day for Germany.
Ukraine has allowed eligible female prisoners to join the military. For many, frontline service offers a chance at redemption as the war demands new recruits.
We’re funding a war that many of Ukraine’s own citizens don’t want to fight.
The latest estimate is 2 million Ukraine draft evaders.
The consensus in Canada is clear to most of us — even irrefutable — that Prime Minister Mark Carney has done very little if anything to make Jewish people in this country feel safer or more content. His contributions to rising antisemitism and divisive behaviour haven’t bothered most of his supporters, however, judging by the popularity polls.
Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has reaffirmed its ambition to govern the country. Wrapping up the party’s national convention in Erfurt, the capital of the eastern state of Thuringia, re-elected co-leader Alice Weidel was pointing to current opinion polls that see the party in the lead across Germany. “We are the strongest force. We are a people’s party with 30% support. And we will govern,” she said.
Earlier, delegates had confirmed the party’s co-leadership. Weidel, who ran as the AfD’s main candidate in Germany’s 2025 federal election, slightly improved on her result from two years ago, winning 81.3% of the vote. Her co-chair, Tino Chrupalla, by contrast, lost significant support and received just 70%.
Bill C-34, the Safe Social Media Act, is the latest building block to be added to the foundation of Canada’s forthcoming surveillance state.
If Bill C-34 is passed into law, it’s only a matter of time before the federal government knows the location, monitors the movement, and tracks the communications of every Canadian. Bill C-34, together with other federal laws, will provide the government with intimate knowledge of how and when we use social media, AI, and the internet generally.
Hundreds of masked white supremacists descended on Washington DC ahead of July 4th celebrations on Saturday, marching through the city centre and riding on the city subway.
An estimated 400 members of a group called the Patriot Front met for a march in the US capital on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
Dressed in khaki trousers and navy blue shirts, the marchers hid their faces behind white balaclavas, baseball caps and sunglasses.

Mark Carney keeps saying he’s running a new government, not just a sequel to the Justin Trudeau years.
This week, Canadians may finally have to admit he’s right. As the door opens to a new Alberta pipeline, Carney closed the door on the Trudeau era.
No one can say they weren’t warned. In his Canada Day video, the prime minister flatly stated that his federal government needed to back off on Trudeau’s climate policy, even as he recalled teenage memories of Alberta’s grievances with Ottawa.
Wishful thinking.
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees what may be the most uniquely American of all rights. Those 27 words have inspired millions of words in thousands of debates over the Amendment’s meaning and what, if any, limits may apply.

CALGARY — The chief executive of Crown lender Farm Credit Canada (FCC) billed taxpayers more than $182,000 in expenses last year — nearly four times the amount claimed by her predecessor — while simultaneously urging employees to cut travel costs and “tighten the belt.”

I have long been a cynic about the chances of a second bitumen pipeline being built from Alberta to the West Coast.
After the events and announcements of Thursday, move me up into the category of skeptic.
I don’t trust a word Carney says. He is an alien to me. Others have doubts …
Pipelines faced key challenges in the past. Can Alberta’s overcome them?
Proposals to build new Canadian pipelines have faced multiple challenges over recent years that have seen projects delayed or derailed repeatedly — and those challenges could offer clues into some of the issues developers behind the newly announced project from Alberta to B.C.’s coast will need to tackle.
From financial hurdles, including proving the project can actually make a profit, to consulting with Indigenous communities and navigating environmental regulations and fees, these projects are seldom easy to get started.

Speaking at the Welt Security Summit on July 2, Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperge recounted that Merkel had told the arms sector: “We don’t really need you, if there is a problem we call the Americans.” The dependence on Washington, he suggested, had been a deliberate choice.
He added that prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, there was “no great need for weapons systems in Germany itself” and that companies like Rheinmetall had been pushed into a “dirty corner” because they exported arms.
“They actually didn’t want us here in Germany,” he remarked.
