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.

Pope Francis' Health Update: A Peaceful Night Amidst Respiratory Crisis

 

Pope Francis, who has been battling a complex lung infection, experienced a peaceful night following a recent respiratory crisis. The Vatican reported that the Pope remains conscious and is receiving high flows of supplemental oxygen to aid his breathing. 

The 88-year-old pontiff, who had part of one lung removed as a young man, faced a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis while being treated for pneumonia. Despite his critical condition, the Pope continues to be alert and spent the day in an armchair, although in more discomfort than the previous day. 

Doctors have expressed concern over his fragile state, given his age and pre-existing lung disease. They have warned that the main threat facing Pope Francis would be the onset of sepsis, a serious infection of the blood that can occur as a complication of pneumonia. 

The Vatican has assured that further clinical tests are being conducted, and a more detailed medical update is expected later today. In the meantime, prayers and well-wishes continue to pour in from around the world for the Pope's swift recovery.
