Trump’s Oct. 30 Tariff Swap: Who Wins, Who Loses, and What It Means for Your Wallet

  Canadian Money Brief • October 27, 2026 Washington just reshuffled the 50% tariffs on Canadian goods. Seaweed and packing boxes are out. Vinyl flooring, cocoa powder and shampoo are in. Here is who comes out ahead, who doesn't, and what to do with your money before the changes take effect on Oct. 30. The short version This is a reshuffle, not a rollback: more products are going onto the 50% list than coming off it, according to a KPMG Law trade lawyer. Politics is the driver. The exemptions followed U.S. Sen. Susan Collins' push, 10 days before the U.S. midterms. Canada's own counter-tariffs, which affect prices in your store, are not changing.

Escaped Monkeys from South Carolina Lab Embark on Unexpected Adventure

 

 In an unexpected turn of events, 43 rhesus macaques have escaped from the Alpha Genesis research facility in Yemassee, South Carolina. The monkeys, bred for medical research, made their break for freedom after an employee failed to fully secure a door during routine feeding and checks.

The monkeys have been spotted in the woods near the facility, and efforts are underway to recapture them using food as bait. Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard remains optimistic about their safe return, stating, "I think they are having an adventure".

Authorities have assured the public that the monkeys pose no health risk, as they are pathogen-free and harmless. However, residents are advised to keep their distance and report any sightings to local authorities to avoid making the monkeys more skittish and harder to capture.

The monkeys, all female and weighing about 7 pounds each, have been seen exploring the outer fence of the compound and interacting playfully with the monkeys still inside. Police and facility workers are closely monitoring the situation to ensure a safe and swift resolution.

Eve Cooper, a biology professor at the University of Colorado Boulder, cautions that while the monkeys are generally harmless, they can become aggressive if frightened. She advises the public to maintain a safe distance and allow professionals to handle the recapture efforts.

As the search continues, the community remains hopeful for the safe return of these adventurous primates.
