Canada’s Auto Industry Is Split on a U.S. Tariff Deal: What It Means for Your Wallet

  Canadian Money Brief • Tariffs & Trade • Saturday, November 14, 2026 Ottawa is once again trying to land a tariff deal with Washington. This time, the biggest fight may be inside Canada's own auto industry, and the outcome could reach your paycheque, your car purchase and your savings. Canada's auto manufacturers agree on the goal: get U.S. tariffs on Canadian-built vehicles down. They do not agree on how fast to move or what to accept. According to a Globe and Mail report published overnight, the Detroit Three (Ford, GM and Stellantis) want a deal sooner rather than later, even an imperfect one, while Honda and Toyota are pushing Ottawa toward a very different design.

Trump Issues Ultimatum to Hamas Over Gaza Hostages

In a dramatic escalation of rhetoric, former President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to Hamas, demanding the immediate release of hostages held in Gaza. Trump took to his Truth Social platform to deliver the ultimatum, stating, "Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you".

The warning comes amid unprecedented direct talks between U.S. officials and Hamas, a significant departure from the longstanding U.S. policy of avoiding direct engagement with the group, which is designated as a terrorist organization by Washington. The discussions, led by U.S. hostage affairs envoy Adam Boehler, aim to secure the release of American hostages still held in Gaza.

Trump's message also included a broader threat to the people of Gaza, stating, "A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD!". This ultimatum follows a recent ceasefire agreement and the release of some hostages, but tensions remain high as the situation continues to evolve.

The former president's aggressive stance has drawn mixed reactions, with some praising his firm approach while others express concern over the potential for further escalation. As the world watches closely, the outcome of these negotiations remains uncertain.
