  • Stepping up in mental health, Meghan & Harry and four-day work week reducing burnout

    Toronto Mayor John Tory speaks out in city council about the increasing violence and issues, and cites a lack of supports for healthcare and mental health as key issues. Also, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have stepped down from royal duties and wanted to start their own lives. Since then, they have released more than one tell-all interview, memoirs and now this documentary, which has received criticism for using out of place footage to set an atmosphere of invasion of privacy and borderline stalking.
