Oil Just Hit $110 — Could Canada's Energy Boom Offset the Tariff Pain?

  Published September 13, 2026 · 6 min read Brent crude touched nearly $110 US a barrel when trading opened Friday morning — its highest level since the spring — as renewed Iran-linked strikes on Saudi energy infrastructure rattled global supply. It settled back down to close the week around $104.61, but the direction of travel has been unmistakable: oil is up roughly 9-10% in the past week alone. That's bad news at the pump. But according to a CBC News analysis published this morning, it might not be bad news for Canada's economy overall. The argument: the roughly 0.5% hit to GDP from Trump's tariffs could be more than offset by the windfall Canada earns as one of the world's biggest oil exporters. For a personal finance reader, that's really two separate stories — one that costs you money, and one that might be quietly making some of your money back.

Prince Harry’s UK Return Sparks Speculation Over Reunion with King Charles

 

                                

Prince Harry has arrived in the United Kingdom for a week-long visit, his longest stay since Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in 2022, to attend the WellChild Awards and other charity engagements. The trip coincides with the third anniversary of his grandmother’s passing, adding a poignant note to his return.

While the Duke of Sussex is set to meet with children and families supported by his patronages, royal watchers are focused on whether he will reunite with his father, King Charles III. The pair have not seen each other since February 2024, when they met briefly following the King’s cancer diagnosis.

Sources suggest a meeting is “not off the table,” though no official confirmation has been given. The King is currently in Scotland but is expected in London mid-week for treatment, potentially creating a window for father and son to reconnect.

Harry, who now lives in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, has faced a strained relationship with the royal family since stepping back from official duties in 2020. Recent behind-the-scenes talks between aides have fueled hopes of reconciliation, though tensions—particularly with his brother, Prince William—remain unresolved.

Whether this visit marks the start of healing or remains another missed opportunity is yet to be seen, but the world will be watching closely.
