June Jobs Report: What It Means for the Bank of Canada's July 15 Decision

  Friday, July 10, 2026 Statistics Canada releases its June Labour Force Survey today, and the timing couldn't matter more. This is the last major economic data point before the Bank of Canada's next interest rate decision on July 15, 2026 — and whichever way the jobs numbers break, they'll shape what happens to borrowing costs for the rest of the summer. What Economists Are Expecting Consensus forecasts point to a modest but positive jobs report. Economists expect Canada added around 10,000 jobs in June, with the unemployment rate holding steady at 6.6%. That would follow a much stronger May, when the economy added 88,000 jobs and the unemployment rate actually fell by 0.3 percentage points. In other words, June's report is expected to show a cooling-off after May's surprise strength — not a reversal, but a return to a more modest pace of hiring. Indicator May 2026 June 2026 (Forecast) Net Employment Change +88,000 jobs +10,000 jobs (expected) Unemployment Rate 6....

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.
