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.

Ukrainian Drone Strike Ignites Blaze at Russian Oil Refinery

                                                   Smoke and fire rise from an industrial facility, in Saratov.

In a bold escalation of its campaign to disrupt Russian military logistics, Ukraine's Armed Forces confirmed a drone strike on the Saratov oil refinery overnight on August 9–10. The refinery, located in Russia’s Saratov Oblast, is considered a key fuel infrastructure facility, supplying petroleum products to Russian forces engaged in the war against Ukraine.

According to Ukraine’s General Staff, the attack was carried out by the Unmanned Systems Forces in coordination with other defense units. The strike triggered multiple explosions and a significant fire at the refinery complex, which has an annual processing capacity of up to 7 million tonnes of oil.

Ukraine emphasized that such operations are part of a broader strategy to weaken Russia’s military and economic capabilities. “A just peace is closer with every target struck on the territory of the Russian Federation that is involved in its criminal war against Ukraine,” the General Staff stated.

The incident marks another chapter in the intensifying drone warfare between the two nations, as Ukraine continues to target strategic assets deep within Russian territory.
