3 Days to Go: What Actually Changes at the Checkout When Canada's Retaliation Tariffs Hit Sept. 8

  Published September 5, 2026 At 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, September 8, Canada's counter-tariffs on roughly $27.6 billion worth of American imports take effect. Ottawa named six sectors when it announced the move: steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. But the actual list of taxed items — the one that determines what you pay at checkout — is narrower than those sector names suggest, and mixing the two up is the easiest way to overpay or miss out on a real deal this weekend. Here's what's really on the list, what isn't, and what the last round of this exact policy tells us about how much prices actually move. What It Means for You If you're planning to buy a U.S.-made fridge, washer, dryer, cooking range, or smartphone, doing it before Tuesday could save you real money.

Israel on High Alert: Increased Threat from Syria Despite Rebel Leaders' Moderate Tone


Despite the moderate tone adopted by the new Syrian rebel leaders, Israel continues to perceive an increased threat from Syria. Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz emphasized that the immediate risks to the country have not diminished, and recent developments in Syria have only heightened the threat.

Ahmad al-Sharaa, the de facto leader of Syria and head of the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group, stated that Israel was using false pretexts to justify its attacks on Syria. However, he also expressed a desire to avoid new conflicts, focusing instead on rebuilding the war-torn nation.

In response to the perceived threats, Israel has moved into a demilitarized zone inside Syria, including the Syrian side of the strategic Mount Hermon. The Israeli Defence Forces have also conducted numerous strikes on Syria's strategic weapons stockpiles to prevent them from falling into the hands of rebel groups.

Several Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Jordan, have condemned Israel's actions, calling for diplomatic solutions to ensure regional stability.

As Syria focuses on reconstruction and stability, Israel remains vigilant, maintaining its military presence in the region to safeguard its borders.
