Harry’s return to royal fold now impossible after dramatic interview

Two weeks ago, a Telegraph reader wrote in to ask: “What will it take for this rift between the King and Prince Harry to end?”

Back then, the answer seemed straightforward. When the security court case was over, whether the Duke of Sussex won or lost, there was a world in which they could conceivably talk again.

When the dust settled, whether the Duke was vindicated or at least felt he had tried his best, it was fractionally possible that father and son could reconnect – without leaks, without showdowns, without fears of jeopardising a Court of Appeal case in which the King must be scrupulously uninvolved.

GOLDSTEIN: Liberals and Conservatives must accept new reality of minority governments

Minority governments are the new norm in Canadian politics and it’s time the two major political parties in Canada started acting like it.

In the past 25 years, since the last of three consecutive Jean Chretien majority Liberal governments was elected in 2000 – at a time when the federal conservative movement was divided – eight federal elections have produced six minority governments.

How Carney’s election win will change direction of trade war

On Mark Carney’s final day of a gruelling race to be elected PM of vast and sparsely populated Canada I was with him.

It was his last push, not just to win, but also to get the majority he said he needed to stand up to the chaotic territorial and trade ambitions of his “neighbour to the south”.

For someone who had got to see Carney as a cerebral technocrat, a crisis-managing central bank governor a decade ago, the transformation into public orator was quite something.

I recall endless interviews trying to get the then governor to say something newsworthy, or something that would make a good headline.

Trump derangement syndrome hijacks an election

Just hours before Canada’s federal election, a man treated a street festival here in Vancouver like it was a bowling lane and his vehicle was the ball. Eleven people have died as a result, with several others injured. But sure, let’s make the federal election all about U.S. President Donald Trump.

Local police quickly ruled out terrorism. How could they possibly know so fast?

Well, because they were apparently like, “Oh, it was just THAT guy.” And not because he hangs out at the doughnut shop with them and shoots the breeze, but because he’s out there doing enough criming that they know his exact brand of crime – and it isn’t terrorism.

Former first lady Michelle Obama got heavily trolled as a clip from her podcast, where she was seen complaining about the cost of living in the White House, went viral.

Trump, in a new interview, says ‘highly unlikely’ military force needed to make Canada 51st state

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump, in a new interview, was circumspect about his duties to uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution.

He also said he does not think military force will be needed to make Canada the “51st state” and played down the possibility he would look to run for a third term in the White House.

The comments in a wide-ranging, and at moments combative, interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” came as the Republican president’s efforts to quickly enact his agenda face sharper headwinds with Americans just as his second administration crossed the 100-day mark, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

GREEN: Carney should pull the plug on Canada’s EV revolution

During his election victory speech, Prime Minister Mark Carney repeated one of his favourite campaign slogans and vowed to make Canada a “clean energy superpower.” So, Canadians can expect Ottawa to “invest” more taxpayer money in “clean energy” projects, including electric vehicles (EVs) — the revolutionary transportation technology that’s been ready to replace internal combustion since 1901, yet still requires subsidies.
