5 Things to Know Today: G7 Oil Release, Pipeline Fast-Track and Ontario's N1 Deadline (Oct. 3)

  Canadian Money Brief • Saturday, October 3, 2026 Markets are closed for the weekend, so here is what moved on Friday and what it means for your wallet as the week turns. Five things worth knowing today. 1. The G7 Is Releasing 100 Million Barrels of Oil and Fuel G7 leaders, Canada included, agreed Friday to release 100 million barrels of crude and refined products from emergency reserves over the next four months, with a front-loaded diesel release in the first 20 days. Washington had been pressing allies to act as fuel prices climbed. Oil barely budged on the news: Brent settled at US$102.25 a barrel and WTI at US$91.11, down US$1.76.

Prince Harry’s Legal Battle Over Security Ends in Disappointment

Prince Harry has expressed deep disappointment after losing his legal fight against the UK government over police protection. The Duke of Sussex had sought to overturn a decision that stripped him of automatic taxpayer-funded security when visiting Britain, following his departure from royal duties in 2020.  

The ruling, upheld by the Court of Appeal, confirmed that Harry would not receive the same level of security as working royals, with protection granted only on a case-by-case basis. The prince, who now resides in California with his wife Meghan and their children, has voiced concerns about his safety in the UK, citing past threats and security risks.  

Despite his legal team's arguments that Harry was subjected to unjustified and inferior treatment, the court maintained that the decision was lawful. Buckingham Palace responded by stating that the matter had been thoroughly examined and consistently upheld by the courts.  

Harry, visibly emotional, shared that the ruling makes it difficult for him to bring his family to Britain safely. He also expressed a desire for reconciliation with his father, King Charles III, though he admitted that their relationship remains strained due to the ongoing security dispute.  

While the prince has hinted that he may not pursue further legal action, the outcome of this case underscores the complexities of royal security and the challenges faced by those who step away from official duties.
