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.

A Solemn Farewell: Pope Francis's Journey to St. Peter's Basilica

In a deeply moving ceremony, the body of Pope Francis was transported from his residence at the Santa Marta guesthouse to St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City. The 88-year-old pontiff, who passed away two days ago, was carried in an open coffin by 14 pallbearers dressed in black suits and white gloves. The procession was accompanied by red-hatted cardinals, priests, and Swiss Guards, as a male choir chanted psalms and prayers in Latin.

Thousands of mourners gathered in St. Peter's Square, breaking into applause as the coffin passed—a traditional Italian gesture of respect. The bells of the basilica tolled solemnly, marking the end of Pope Francis's 12-year papacy, which was characterized by his progressive reforms and advocacy for inclusivity.

The late pope's body will lie in state at St. Peter's Basilica for three days, allowing the faithful to pay their respects before his funeral on Saturday. His final resting place will be the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, reflecting his humble wishes for a simpler ceremony.

Pope Francis's legacy as a compassionate and reformative leader continues to resonate with Catholics and admirers worldwide.
