Sept 15 Tariff Shift: What's Actually Changing on Canadian Goods (And What Isn't)

  Published September 12, 2026 At 12:01 a.m. ET on Tuesday, September 15, a new round of U.S. tariff changes takes effect on Canadian goods. If you've seen headlines calling this a "new 50% tariff on Canadian steel, aluminum and paper," here's the more accurate story: it isn't a new tariff at all. It's the U.S. reshuffling which products fall under a 50% tariff that's already been in place since August 22 — adding some categories, removing others, on the same day. Here's what's actually happening, and why it matters more to Canadian manufacturers and cross-border shoppers than to your everyday grocery bill. The tariff this modifies Back on August 22, 2026, the U.S. imposed a 50% tariff under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 on roughly $20 billion CAD of Canadian goods. The White House framed it as retaliation for Canadian "discrimination" against U.S. alcoholic beverages, dairy, and motor vehicles — three separate proclamations, eac...

Your daily horoscope: June 21, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The No. 1 thing you need to focus on this year is going after a single goal at a time. The more your mind is full of plans and schemes the less progress you are likely to make, so live in the moment and let the universe guide you.

Aries (March 21 - April 20):

A family dispute of some kind can be resolved quite easily this weekend but you do need to be conscious of other people’s feelings. You have a tendency to say things that sensitive types find a bit hurtful, though of course you don’t mean it.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21):

You will be called on to sort out a quarrel between friends that has nothing to do with you personally. Although you may be tempted to favor one side over the other you must remain rigidly impartial. Don’t jeopardize your reputation for fairness.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21):

The sun’s move into the financial area of your chart today means you need to devote more attention to a money matter of some kind. If you leave it for other people to sort out you may end up paying more than if you had done it yourself.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23):

Forget about everything that went before and focus entirely on what your next big move is going to be. The sun’s entry into your birth sign this weekend means you are perfectly placed to make a new start on every important level you can think of.

Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You may be something of a human dynamo but as the sun moves into the most sensitive area of your chart this weekend you would be wise to slow down a bit. You don’t have to move faster than everyone else – at least not all the time.

Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

The sun is now joining Mercury and Jupiter in the friendship area of your chart, so don’t sit at home by yourself. Get out into the world and meet the kind of people who make you glad to be alive. They’ll be just as glad to see you.

Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

As the sun moves into the career area of your chart this weekend you can and you must set yourself targets that challenge you on the work front. If you think you are better than your rivals then now is the perfect time to prove it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

A more inspiring phase is now under way and you will find no end of opportunities to express yourself over the next few weeks. Don’t hold back because you fear your ideas might upset other people – in fact, make that your No. 1 aim!

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Life may be a serious business but don’t react to events in the world around you as if all is doom and destruction. People who think like that are best avoided while you go out of your way to show them there is much to enjoy and be joyful about.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Your focus now must be on getting important relationships back on track. Some of them have been so beset by gloom and doom in recent weeks that you may even have considered giving up on them. What happens next will convince you that isn’t necessary.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

By all means express your point of view this weekend but don’t expect too many people to agree with you. According to the planets you are very much in the minority at the moment, so make sure you can back up your opinions with undeniable facts.

Pisces (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Life is about to get hectic in the nicest possible way. Over the next few weeks there will be no end of opportunities to show the world what you can do
