Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard is struggling to get off the ground as she’s having an issue finding a CEO, according to a report.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, unveiled her new business venture in March teasing its impending launch. But six months later, there’s still no release date or information about the products customers can expect to be up for sale.
I used to feel sorry for Harry.
Many of us have been alarmed at the deterioration of the United States’ foreign relations with our allies under the tenure of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Our relationship with Israel has been strained to near the breaking point and our European allies seem to be unsure of how much they can rely on us. Taiwan is constantly looking over its shoulder, wary of a sudden attack by mainland China and what we might do about it in response. Now we can add another country to the list and it’s one much closer to home.
Two men in Sweden will be put on trial for setting fire to a Quran last year, prosecutors said on Wednesday.
The Quran burnings drew outrage in the Muslim world and raised fears of reprisal attacks in Sweden.
Many Muslims see the Quran as the literal word of God and as such, desecrating it represents a grave offense.
Government officers told to skip fraud prevention steps when vetting temporary foreign worker applications, Star investigation finds
As the Trudeau government promises to crack down on a temporary foreign worker program it admits has been abused, a Star investigation has revealed the government is fast-tracking applications by directing processing officers to skip crucial steps designed to prevent fraud.
Beginning in January 2022, Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) directed staff to apply “streamlining measures” when evaluating the legitimacy of applications by employers who want to hire temporary foreign workers.
According to internal ESDC documents obtained by the Star and interviews with a current ESDC employee, routine checks meant to ensure the system is not abused by unscrupulous employers have been suspended in an effort to process applications faster.
That Great Replacement theory? It’s just a conspiracy!

After receiving the backroom blessing of Democratic Party powerbrokers, Kamala Harris quickly closed the presidential polling gap — though without granting a single interview. “Unburdened by what has been,” to quote the new Democratic nominee, many voters enthusiastically support her candidacy simply because she is not Donald Trump. But what she stands for should be of intense interest, not only to American voters, but to America’s allies and rivals around the world. For Canadians, the many parallels between Harris and Justin Trudeau are uncanny.
The man in the video posted a flag on a facebook post and the UK police showed up to arrest him for causing “gross offense with a menacing character which caused someone anxiety”.

A prominent Jewish human rights group is calling out a UofC professor for posting what it says are inappropriate and “troubling” online posts it says are “unbecoming” of the institution.
According to B’Nai Brith, faculty member Prof. Tawab Hlimi has spread “misinformation and hatred causing stress and confusion” to the local Jewish community.
Following the example of other European Union member states, Freedom Party (PVV) leader Geert Wilders called for parts of Syria to be also designated as “safe” by the Netherlands, in order to further reduce the intake of migrants from the Middle East—while increasing deportations.
While other EU leaders equivocate on deporting Syrians, even ones who commit horrific crimes, Wilders is working on a solution. In a post on X, he argued that since other countries have changed Syria’s designation as well, there’s no reason for the Netherlands to continue automatically granting asylum to Syrians either.
A suspected bot campaign surrounding a recent Pierre Poilievre event shows that generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools are easily accessible to anyone looking to influence political messaging online, researchers have found.
In July, the social media platform X was inundated with posts following the Conservative leader’s tour of Northern Ontario.
The posts claimed to be from people who attended Poilievre’s event in Kirkland Lake, Ont., but were actually generated by accounts in Russia, France and other places, and many of them had similar messaging.
Canadian Jewish organizations are denouncing Fred Hahn’s refusal to resign as vice president of the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), over an antisemitic video he shared on social media, with a protest planned for Tuesday afternoon outside the union’s Ontario office in Thornhill.
Hahn, who has also led CUPE Ontario, a political branch of CUPE National, since 2010, shared a video on social media earlier this month that has been widely condemned by Jewish communities and government officials as antisemitic.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged Monday that Biden administration officials pressured Facebook into censoring Covid-related content and conceded that his platform was mistaken when it censored the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election.
In an explosive letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), Zuckerberg owned up to Facebook’s decision to go along with the White House’s censorship demands and expressed regret for suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story.
“In 2021, senior officials from the Biden Administration, including the White House, repeatedly pressured our teams for months to censor certain COVID-19 content, including humor and satire, and expressed a lot of frustration with our teams when we didn’t agree,” Zuckerberg wrote.
Effective July 2025, teacher licensing rules passed last year in Minnesota under Democrat Gov. Tim Walz will ban practicing Christians, Jews, and Muslims from teaching in public schools. Walz is now the presidential running mate of current U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris. His resume includes a stint as a high school social studies teacher who sponsored a student queer sex club in 1999.
Starting next July, Minnesota agencies controlled by Walz appointees will require teacher license applicants to affirm transgenderism and race Marxism. Without a teaching license, individuals cannot work in Minnesota public schools, nor in the private schools that require such licenses.
