CUSMA Renewal Deadline Passes: What It Means for Your Wallet

  July 8, 2026 July 1 came and went without a full renewal of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). Instead of locking in another 16-year term, the United States chose not to extend the deal in its current form, which means the trade pact now shifts into an annual review process for the next decade. Here's what that actually means for your money. What just happened All three countries had until July 1 to say whether they wanted to renew CUSMA. Because Washington opted against a full renewal, the agreement now gets reviewed annually rather than being locked in for over a decade. Canada's Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc confirmed the three countries agreed to keep talking, with Canada specifically pushing to address sectoral tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, and lumber. Any of the three countries can still walk away entirely with six months' notice. The good news: most trade stays tariff-free For now, the status quo holds.

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Focus on your No. 1 passion and don’t let up for even a moment. According to the planets you have a special mission in life and if you pursue it relentlessly over the coming 12 months the world will be a much better place as a result.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Make an effort to be nice to the people you work with over the next few days. As Venus moves into the career area of your chart you can turn on the charm and get almost anything you ask for. No one will want to deny you.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Sometimes wishes really do come true and if you keep your strongest cravings in mind at all times today there is every chance you will get what you most desire. The universe wants you to have the best of everything, so don’t be afraid to ask for it.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

The message of the stars as the new week begins is that you must maintain a positive attitude at all times and in all situations. Banish all thoughts of failure from your mind and act as if you cannot possibly lose – and you won’t!

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Don’t be surprised if you get a bit emotional over the next 24 hours. Cosmic activity in your opposite sign will make it easy for you to empathize with people who are having trouble in their life – and make you want to help them if you can.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you don’t feel like working too hard today that’s okay. Even Leos go through phases when their energy sags a little and if you give yourself some time off over the next 24 hours you will more than make up for it later in the week.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

As love planet Venus moves into the most dynamic area of your chart today you won’t hesitate to let the people you like and the people you love know how much you care for them. Your natural Virgo reserve will be nowhere in sight!

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

No matter how badly you may have fallen out with a friend or relative you can and you must patch things up over the next few days. Start the process by letting them know that you don’t hold a grudge. Life is too short for that kind of nonsense.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

No matter what the weather outside your door may be like at the moment the world will look a sunnier place and your own warm disposition will light up the space around you. For once you won’t mind being the centre of attention.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The cosmic picture is changing rapidly and it won’t be long before you get your chance to shine. Over the next week or so though you would be wise to help friends and colleagues reach their own goals – then they will gladly help you in return.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Venus moves into your sign today and almost immediately it will feel as if the burdens you have been carrying no longer weigh so much. Life is so much simpler when you stop worrying about what may be coming next. Live in the moment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

If your head tells you one thing and your heart tells you another today it is your heart you must listen to. If you can accept that not everything that occurs has a rational explanation you won’t get so worked up about events outside your control.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The more others say that you are on the wrong track the more determined you will be to push ahead and prove them wrong. It’s good that you believe in yourself to such an extent but don’t go to extremes and pretend that certain obstacles do not exist.
