Golf‘s major season draws to a close this week as The Open heads to the dramatic surrounds of Royal Birkdale. The Southport course, famed for its unique Oceanliner clubhouse, has not hosted The Open since Jordan Spieth’s triumph in 2017. Its 11th staging of golf’s oldest major comes with another American defending the title, as Scottie Scheffler aims to retain the Claret Jug after his outstanding performance at Royal Portrush last year. But a course regarded as the “fairest test in golf” will present Scheffler and the field with what Jon Rahm this week described as an “unprecedented” Open challenge.…

The cast of “Love Island” season 8 has officially exited the villa, and some of them didn’t receive a warm welcome back to social media. Following the conclusion of the season, the final four contestants, Carl Schmidt and Aniya Harvey, Sincere Rhea and Melanie Moreno, Zach Georgiou and Kayda Bosse, and Bryce Dettloff and Trinity Tatum, have been adjusting to life in the real world. While some have been greeted with messages of support from brands and even millions of followers, others, like Georgiou, have been subjected to hate comments and incessant trolling. The criticism was enough for season 8…

OTTAWA — The federal government has gone from a C student to top of the class in its work to advance internal trade between provinces, says the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. In the federation’s latest annual report card on internal trade, the federal government jumped to an A-plus from the C grade it got in 2025. The report card released Wednesday by the advocacy group for small businesses said Canada has made unprecedented progress toward breaking down internal trade barriers long considered a self-imposed drag on the domestic economy. The International Monetary Fund estimates that removing internal trade barriers…

Physical badges used to be all you needed for identity management at a company. But with humans now working alongside machines and AI agents in digital environments, even the identity tools built for the cloud era are proving inadequate. That’s the gap Israeli startup Oak is stepping out of stealth to fill, it says. Co-founded by serial entrepreneur Shai Morag, the company has been quietly building a unified control plane that governs identity across an organization, and is now emerging publicly with its product generally available and already deployed by enterprise clients, backed by $60 million in seed funding that…

But Keyli Loeppky, one of the authors of the report, The State of Internal Trade, said governments should expect harsher grading next year because CFIB will be looking for tangible results. Loeppky, CFIB’s senior director for Alberta and interprovincial affairs, also said that the group wants to see the federal government start to use its ability to penalize and reward provinces for working to tear down trade walls.

At a time when Canada has rightly identified its defence industry as essential to our national and economic security, terrorists are “taking…

John Stones says England “still have more to give” and is banking on their recent semi-finals successes when they face Argentina at the World Cup tonight. The teams share 60 years of political and sporting rivalry, sparked by a feisty clash at Wembley in 1966 and there will be an air of hostility inside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta at kick-off. England have won their last two semi-finals at major tournaments, the last-four clashes against Denmark and the Netherlands at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024 respectively, and Stones believes those experiences will stand them in good stead. The former Manchester…
