What to Actually Buy (or Skip) Before the Aug. 19 Tariffs Hit

  Pulished August 15, 2026 Four days out, the "stock up now" advice making the rounds is mostly aimed at exporters, not shoppers. Here's what genuinely moves the needle on your car, wine, and grocery bill — and what's just noise. At 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday, a new round of U.S. tariffs is set to hit roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian exports — dairy, alcohol, and vehicles among them — unless Ottawa and Washington reach a deal first. As of this weekend, the signals are genuinely mixed. Canada's chief trade negotiator, Janice Charette, told a government advisory group Friday that there's still "a significant amount of work to do," with talks expected to run through the weekend.

Prince Harry Wins 'Monumental' Legal Battle Against Murdoch's Sun

 


In a landmark victory, Prince Harry has won a significant legal battle against Rupert Murdoch's UK newspaper group, News Group Newspapers (NGN). The publisher admitted to unlawful actions at its Sun tabloid and issued a rare, full apology to the Duke of Sussex.

Harry, 40, had been suing NGN for illegally obtaining private information about him from 1996 until 2011. The settlement includes substantial damages and an admission of intrusion into the private lives of both Harry and his late mother, Princess Diana.

"This victory is not just about me, it's about holding those who abuse their power to account," Harry said in a statement. "The truth has finally been acknowledged, and justice has been served."

The apology from NGN marks a significant moment in the ongoing battle against unlawful media practices. Harry's lawyer, David Sherborne, emphasized that this case was about accountability and truth, rather than monetary compensation.

The settlement comes after last-minute talks, averting a trial that was set to begin earlier this week. Harry's co-claimant, former senior British lawmaker Tom Watson, also received an apology and damages.

Harry's mission to expose and rectify the wrongdoings of the British tabloids has resulted in a historic win, setting a precedent for future cases involving media misconduct.
