5 Things to Know Today: US Import Ban, Oil Tops $100, TSX Slides, ECB Hikes

  September 10, 2026 A big trade-war escalation, a return of $100 oil, a wobbly TSX, and a central bank on the move overseas — here's what's moving markets and your wallet this morning. 1. Washington Bans Canadian Alcohol, Dairy Ingredients and Motorcycles The trade war jumped up another notch Tuesday night. The White House issued executive orders banning imports of most Canadian alcoholic beverages — beer, wine, whisky, vodka, rum, tequila and more — along with whey protein, molasses and non-alcoholic beer, plus Canadian-made motorcycles. The bans take effect September 29. Several cheese products were added to the existing 50% tariff list rather than banned outright, and Trump's threat to raise auto tariffs from 25% to 50% on January 1 remains on the table.

coconut macaroons

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 14-oz bag sweetened flaked coconut, such as Baker’s Angel Flake
  • ⅞ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs whites
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, best quality such as Ghirardelli, chopped (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Set two oven racks near the center of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Use a large rubber spatula to fold the egg whites into the coconut mixture.
  4. Using a mini ice cream scoop or two spoons, form heaping tablespoons of the mixture into mounds on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, rotating the pans from top to bottom and front to back, until the tops and edges are golden. Let cool on the pans for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. If dipping the macaroons in chocolate, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at medium power, stopping and stirring at 30 second intervals, until just smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water.) Dip the bottoms of the macaroons in the chocolate, let the excess drip off, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 15 minutes.
