Kate Middleton and Prince William Moving to "Forest Lodge"
Forest Lodge is 328 years old, has 8 bedrooms, and some seriously extensive grounds. And if you're wondering whether or not British tax payers are footing the renovation bill, nope! Wills and Kate are covering costs themselves, and privacy screens have already gone up as builders start work on the property.
A source tells The Sun that Windsor has become the Waleses home, which is why they want to stay in the area. "Over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times," an insider tells the outlet. "Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind. This is a move for the long-term. They see it as their forever home.'
Meanwhile, sources tell the Daily Mail that the William and Kate won't have a live-in staff, butlers or valets—though their security and nanny will live in cottages nearby. As for when they're planning to move, it looks like Christmas 2025 is the target date!

Canadian dollar steadies ahead of domestic inflation data
By Fergal Smith TORONTO (Reuters) -The Canadian dollar was barely changed against its U.S. counterpart on Monday as oil prices rose and investors awaited domestic inflation data that could guide expectations for the Bank of Canada policy outlook. The loonie was trading nearly unchanged at 1.3814 per U.S. dollar, or 72.39 U.S. cents, after moving in a range of 1.3784 to 1.3831. Canada's consumer price index report for July is due on Tuesday. Economists expect the annual rate of increase in consumer prices to ease to 1.8% from 1.9% in June, but measures of underlying inflation that are closely tracked by the BoC are forecast to remain well above the central bank's 2% target. "Tomorrow's Canadian inflation report should remain too hot for comfort," Karl Schamotta, chief market strategist at Corpay, said in a note. "The central bank's preferred trim and median core measures are likely to hold close to the 3% threshold for now as retaliatory tariffs and still-resilient consumer spending levels translate into upward pressure on prices." Investors see a 68% chance that the BoC would leave interest rates unchanged at its next policy decision on September 17. The central bank has been on hold since lowering the benchmark rate to 2.75% in March. The price of oil, one of Canada's major exports, was up 0.5% at $63.11 a barrel, while the U.S. dollar notched gains against a basket of major currencies. Canadian housing starts unexpectedly rose in July, advancing 4% from the previous month, data from the national housing agency showed. Data on Friday from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed that speculators have raised their bearish bets on the Canadian dollar to the highest level since June. The Canadian 10-year yield was up 2.7 basis points at 3.489%, after earlier touching its highest level since July 30 at 3.506%.

Video: 100,000 passengers stranded amid major airline strike
Over 100,000 passengers have been stranded due to Air Canada flight attendants participating in a major strike against the airline. The strike persisted over the weekend despite the Canadian government ordering the flight attendants to return to work. In a Sunday press release, Air Canada confirmed that it had suspended a plan to resume Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge flights after the Canadian Union of Public Employees 'illegally directed its flight attendant members to defy a direction from the Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to return to work.' The press release noted that flights would resume on Monday evening. 'All operations of Air Canada and Air Canada Rouge were suspended August 16, 2025, due to a strike by CUPE. In accordance with the Government of Canada's direction, the CIRB ordered a resumption of our activities and directed our flight attendants to return to work,' Air Canada stated. 'This order ended both CUPE's strike and the lockout Air Canada had imposed in response. Approximately 240 flights scheduled to operate beginning this afternoon have now been cancelled.'

Fox Business reported that the flight attendants claimed they are only paid for work when an airplane is moving and that they are not paid for the boarding or unloading processes. A video shared Monday on X, formerly Twitter, shows Air Canada Flight Attendants displaying flags and signs as part of the strike against Air Canada. ✈️✊🏾 CUPE Ontario President, Fred Hahn and Secretary-Treasurer, Yolanda McClean joined Air Canada Flight Attendants, who are on strike for a contract that pays them for all the hours they actually work. From boarding to delays to layovers, their time is real work, and it deserves… — CUPE Ontario (@CUPEOntario) August 18, 2025 According to Reuters, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's administration asked the Canadian Industrial Relations Board on Sunday to issue an order imposing binding arbitration and forcing an end to the flight attendant strike. While the board issued the order, the flight attendant union opposed the government order, according to Reuters. In a statement to Fox Business, the Canadian Union of Public Employees said, 'We will be challenging this blatantly unconstitutional order that violates the Charter rights of 10,517 flight attendants, 70% of whom are women, and 100% of whom are forced to do hours of unpaid work by their employer every time they come to work.' 'We invite Air Canada back to the table to negotiate a fair deal, rather than relying on the federal government to do their dirty work for them when bargaining gets a little bit tough,' the union added.
