3 Days to Go: What Actually Changes at the Checkout When Canada's Retaliation Tariffs Hit Sept. 8

  Published September 5, 2026 At 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, September 8, Canada's counter-tariffs on roughly $27.6 billion worth of American imports take effect. Ottawa named six sectors when it announced the move: steel, dairy, appliances, agricultural equipment, pulp and paper, and electronics. But the actual list of taxed items — the one that determines what you pay at checkout — is narrower than those sector names suggest, and mixing the two up is the easiest way to overpay or miss out on a real deal this weekend. Here's what's really on the list, what isn't, and what the last round of this exact policy tells us about how much prices actually move. What It Means for You If you're planning to buy a U.S.-made fridge, washer, dryer, cooking range, or smartphone, doing it before Tuesday could save you real money.

Hamas Condemns Israel’s Gaza Relocation Plan as “Blatant Deception”

 

Palestinians, displaced by the Israeli offensive, shelter in a tent camp as the Israeli military prepares to relocate residents to southern Gaza, in Gaza City


Hamas has denounced Israel’s newly announced plan to relocate residents from Gaza City to the southern part of the enclave, calling it a “new wave of genocide and displacement” for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.

The Israeli military says it will begin distributing tents and other shelter equipment to facilitate the evacuation of civilians from combat zones “to ensure their safety” ahead of a planned offensive to seize control of northern Gaza City. The move has sparked alarm from the United Nations and humanitarian groups, who warn that no area in Gaza can be considered safe and that the relocation could deepen the already catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

Israel’s government maintains the plan is a protective measure, but critics — including international leaders and aid organizations — argue it risks weaponizing humanitarian aid and forcing mass displacement under the guise of safety. The war, now in its 22nd month, has already killed tens of thousands in Gaza and displaced most of its population, with the UN reporting record levels of hunger and malnutrition.

Hamas insists the relocation plan is a cover for further military aggression, while Israel frames it as a necessary step before intensifying operations against the group’s remaining strongholds in Gaza City.
