  Vehicle prices in Canada are already up thousands of dollars since the trade war began.

On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that tariffs on all Canadian-made cars, trucks, auto parts, and steel would rise to 50% starting January 1, 2027 — effectively doubling the current 25% rate. The threat landed hours after cross-border trade talks collapsed late Friday night, triggering a separate round of 50% tariffs on roughly $20 billion of other Canadian goods and a promised Canadian retaliation package set for September 8.

All-American Potato Salad

 


 Ingredients (Serves 6)

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled & cut into ¾-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp + ¾ tsp salt, divided
  • 2 tbsp distilled white vinegar
  • ½ cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tbsp minced red onion
  • 3 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • ⅔ cup mayonnaise (use a good-quality brand)
  • ¾ tsp dry mustard
  • ¾ tsp celery seed
  • 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped (optional but recommended)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Potatoes
    Place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and bring to a boil. Add 1 tbsp salt, reduce heat, and simmer for ~8 minutes until fork-tender. Drain.

  2. Add Vinegar
    While still warm, transfer potatoes to a bowl and drizzle with vinegar. Toss gently and let sit for 20 minutes.

  3. Make the Dressing
    In a separate bowl, mix celery, onion, relish, mayo, mustard, celery seed, parsley, pepper, and remaining ¾ tsp salt.

  4. Combine & Chill
    Gently fold the dressing and chopped eggs into the potatoes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.


Tips 

  • Start potatoes in cold water for even cooking.
  • Let potatoes absorb vinegar while warm for extra flavor.
  • Make ahead—the flavors deepen overnight.
