5 Things to Know Today: U.S. Alcohol Ban, GDP Day, 5.25% Yields (Sept 29)

  Tuesday September 29, 2026 A U.S. import ban on Canadian booze kicks in, Statistics Canada reports July GDP, and U.S. bond yields sit at levels not seen since 2007. Here are the five things that matter for your wallet today. 1 The U.S. ban on Canadian alcohol takes effect today As of 12:01 a.m. ET, the U.S. is refusing entry to many Canadian beer, wine, cider and spirits shipments, along with whey products, molasses and larger motorcycles. The measures were signed Sept. 8 and largely replace the 50% tariffs that applied to these goods. Bottles already in the U.S. can still be sold, and product shipped in bulk to be bottled south of the border appears to fall outside the ban. Canadian producers say pivoting to domestic sales won't be easy, because a patchwork of provincial rules complicates selling across borders. What it means for you: The ban hits exports, not what you pay at the store. The exposure is for people who work in or own shares of brewers, distillers and wineries, a...

Your daily horoscope: July 15, 2024


 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You have made a number of life-changing decisions over the past year or so and because of those decisions your future looks exceedingly rosy. But don’t stop there because in several areas you still have unfinished, and potentially profitable, business to take care of.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

What seemed such a difficult situation over the weekend won’t seem so difficult now and you must take advantage of that fact to push ahead with your plans, especially on the work front where decisive action could lead to the making of some serious money.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Mars and Uranus join forces in your sign today, which among other things suggests there will be major disruptions over the course of the week. Those disruptions are more likely to work in your favour if you are the one who sets them off.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Your enthusiasm may take a bit of a dive as the new week begins but that’s no bad thing and could in fact be a good thing if it means you are not quite so hyperactive as you have been of late. Try slowing down once in a while.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

A minor setback could knock you off your stride today but the planets indicate you will be back on course by this time tomorrow, so don’t make a big issue of it. Besides, life would be extremely boring if everything always went according to plan.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You seem to be a lot happier with your lot of late, and that’s great, but you must not settle into the kind of self-satisfied mood that stifles your creative instincts. By all means take it easy today but keep looking and planning ahead.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

There is no reason why your recent run of good luck should not continue and what happens today will open up new possibilities and make it possible for the future to be even better than the past. Don’t lower your expectations, raise them higher!

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You may not want to admit that you were wrong about something but there is nothing to be gained by pretending that a decision you took was a good one. In the greater scheme of things it may not amount to much but you can still learn from it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

You may be at a loss to understand why a loved one is behaving badly but their anger cannot be ignored. Most likely they will be back to normal by this time tomorrow but it will pay you to find out why they are suddenly so hostile.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The harder you have pushed yourself in recent weeks the more essential it is now to ease back a bit and take time out from your labours. Even a dynamic Sag needs to recharge their physical, mental and emotional batteries once in a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

A simple situation could quickly get complicated today and you will need to keep your wits about you if you are to stay on top of it. You may be panicking a bit on the inside but don’t let the outside world see it is getting to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

It amazes you that some people can get worked up over the most ridiculous things but not everyone can be as emotionally detached as you, so make allowances when dealing with loved ones and co-workers. Do what you can to help them get a grip.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Travel and social plans will be disrupted today but if you stay calm and adapt as you go along you will still get where you need to be and have a lot of fun along the way. The best way to deal with unexpected changes is to embrace them.
