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: December 19

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Some of your passions may be baffling to friends and colleagues but to you they make perfect sense, so give yourself permission to act in ways that not everyone will approve of and make the next 12 months truly special – for you at least!

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

The sooner you realize that ambition is not a dirty word the happier you will be. Cosmic activity in and around the career area of your chart over the next few days will encourage you to get the better of those you think of as rivals.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Your beliefs may seem to be set in stone but the planets indicate they will go through a number of far-reaching changes over the next few days. If you can learn to look at life from a slightly different angle you’ll be amazed by what you discover.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You don’t have to be assertive to prove that you are as tough as other people. On the contrary, you will impress others more if you hold back a bit today and stay on good terms with partners, colleagues and, yes, your rivals too.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

You need to get into the habit of allowing other people to make decisions for you. When the sun moves into your opposite sign at the weekend even those you are close to will want to flex their muscles a bit. Let them. It can’t hurt you.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you push yourself too hard between now and the weekend you could regret it later on when you find that your energy levels take an unexpected dip. Map out your schedule for the next few days and make sure you leave yourself plenty of free time.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You have so much to look forward and although you might not quite believe that now you will start to believe it when the Sun moves into the most dynamic area of your chart on the 21st. Life is good and about to get even better.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If you aim to co-operate rather than compete over the next 24 hours you will accomplish so much more, especially in one-to-one situations where you have not always had the best of things in recent weeks. Be more of a team player Libra.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Anyone who tells you what to think and how to feel will be left in no doubt that their opinions are not wanted. Just be careful they are not trying to play a double bluff on you by suggesting the opposite of what they truly desire.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Put your own needs first today, because once the Sun leaves your sign on the 21st you could find that you no longer have the clout to push ahead with plans that other people do not approve of. Use your power while you’ve still got it.  

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Your best time of the year is just days away and if you are smart you will be making plans left, right and center. Keep telling yourself there is nothing you cannot do and no one you cannot impress. Believe it deeply enough and it will be true.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You will achieve more in the long term if you get together with people who share your aims and ambitions rather than going your own way each and every time. There is power in numbers and with the right people by your side you will be invincible.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Your highly developed sixth sense rarely if ever gives you bad guidance, so if it is now warning you to take care on the work front that is exactly what you must do. The sad fact is not all your colleagues want to see you succeed.
