CUSMA Wasn’t Renewed: The 10-Year Clock Now Running on Your Job, Prices and Savings

The agreement known here as CUSMA is still in force, but since July 1 it has been on a different footing, and the way it plays out over the next decade matters to your paycheque, your grocery bill and your savings.

Your daily horoscope: April 29, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

It’s not always easy to love your fellow man but that is what your Np. 1 goal should be this year. You cannot change the world on your own but you can change the way you react to events. Strive to find the good in everyone you meet.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You will be taking risks by the dozen over the next few days and most of them will pay off. Even the ones that don’t will be fun though. You are at your happiest when you are active, so get out into the world and make some waves!

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Aim to be more assertive over the next 24 hours. According to the planets some people are of the opinion that you can be easily manipulated into giving them what they want even when they clearly don’t deserve it. Prove them wrong.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You are rarely lost for words and today won’t be any different. In fact, anyone who annoys or upsets you will get an instant response and will wish they had kept their opinions to themselves. You will be friends again tomorrow though.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

If an opportunity to move up in the world comes your way you must take it without a moment’s hesitation. The very worst thing you can do is to wonder if you deserve to be promoted or rewarded. If it’s there, just take it.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Mars in your sign makes you super confident and your devil-may-care attitude will create new possibilities to prosper that are not available to other people. Set the pace, enjoy the ride and don’t stop until you have reached your desired destination.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Something unexpected will occur today and it will knock you off your stride for all of 10 seconds. While others are running this way and that wondering what to do next you will have figured it out and be on your way again.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The more others try to deflect you from the path you have chosen to take the more determined you must be stay on it. Your rivals don’t have the power to make you do things their way, so ignore their threats and carry on as before.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Other people can waste time and energy on empty words and futile gestures if they so wish but you know that the only way to change things is to identify the problem and then focus on solving it with laser-like precision. So do it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You may be a bit excitable today but that’s just a sign that you are passionate about what you are doing. If others want to join you in your endeavours that’s great. If not, that’s great too. You often do your best work on your own.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

You may prefer to stick with methods and routines that you feel comfortable with but the world is changing so fast at the moment that everyone, including you, will need to adapt to survive. Don’t fear change, embrace it and make it work for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

There are only 24 hours in a day and if you waste even one of them you won’t be happy with yourself. Don’t let other people waste your time either. Ignore what friends and colleagues say you should or should not be doing and follow your heart.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The message of the stars today is that you need to assert your independence both on the home front and at work. You have done so many things for so many people over the past few weeks – now do only what makes you feel good about yourself.
