"Former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney Passes Away at 84"

Brian Mulroney, the former Canadian Prime Minister known for forging closer ties with the US through a free trade agreement, has died at 84. He served almost a decade as prime minister, leaving with the lowest approval rating in Canadian history. Despite his controversial tenure, he was praised for his role in shaping US-Canada relations and the economy. His amiable relationship with US presidents Reagan and Bush helped develop the free-trade treaty, which led to significant increases in north-south trade. However, his administration was marred by scandals, and he left office after a devastating election defeat in 1993.

"Jessica Mulroney's Cryptic Message to King Charles Sparks Memories of Meghan's Royal Connections"

Meghan Markle's former best friend, Jessica Mulroney, has shared photos of her in-laws, Brian and Mila Mulroney, hosting Prince Charles and Princess Diana during their visit to Ottawa in the 1990s, as well as hosting Queen Elizabeth in Vancouver in 1987. This suggests that Meghan may have had closer ties to the royal family before meeting Prince Harry than she previously claimed. The friendship between Meghan and Jessica has since cooled after Jessica was involved in a "white privilege" controversy on social media. Additionally, a resurfaced post from Meghan's old blog, The Tig, reveals that she had knowledge and opinions about the British royals, including Kate and William's wedding, before meeting Harry. Meghan also has connections to the royal family through her friendship with Misha Nonoo, who was once married to Alexander Gilkes, a close friend of Prince Harry and Prince William.
