Oil Just Hit $110 — Could Canada's Energy Boom Offset the Tariff Pain?

  Published September 13, 2026 · 6 min read Brent crude touched nearly $110 US a barrel when trading opened Friday morning — its highest level since the spring — as renewed Iran-linked strikes on Saudi energy infrastructure rattled global supply. It settled back down to close the week around $104.61, but the direction of travel has been unmistakable: oil is up roughly 9-10% in the past week alone. That's bad news at the pump. But according to a CBC News analysis published this morning, it might not be bad news for Canada's economy overall. The argument: the roughly 0.5% hit to GDP from Trump's tariffs could be more than offset by the windfall Canada earns as one of the world's biggest oil exporters.

Boos, Delays, and Drama: Trump’s US Open Appearance Sparks Uproar

                                     US president Donald Trump faced a hostile welcome during US Open final.

The 2025 US Open men’s final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner was supposed to be all about tennis — but President Donald Trump’s arrival turned it into a spectacle before the first serve was even struck.

Invited by tournament sponsor Rolex, Trump made his first US Open appearance in a decade, walking into Arthur Ashe Stadium to a mix of cheers and loud boos. His presence triggered heightened security measures that delayed the match by over 30 minutes, leaving long lines of frustrated fans outside. Some attendees reported waiting more than an hour to get in, missing the start of the final entirely.

Despite a reported request from the United States Tennis Association for broadcasters to avoid showing crowd reactions, footage quickly spread online capturing the jeers as Trump appeared on the Jumbotron during the national anthem — and again later in the match. Social media lit up with clips and commentary, with many users celebrating the crowd’s response while others criticized the disruption his visit caused.

For Trump, who has faced similar receptions at past sporting events, the moment was another reminder that in his native New York, the court of public opinion can be just as charged as the one hosting the match.
