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.

Trump Orders National Guard to Memphis Amid Crime Crackdown Dispute

                                            

President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of the National Guard to Memphis, Tennessee, describing the move as a “replica” of his recent federal intervention in Washington, D.C..

Announcing the decision alongside Republican Governor Bill Lee at the White House, Trump said the operation would combine Guard troops with federal agencies such as the FBI, DEA, ICE, and the U.S. Marshals Service. The White House claimed Memphis’ crime rate remains above the national average, despite local police reporting a 25-year low in overall crime and a six-year low in murders for 2025.

Governor Lee welcomed the deployment as part of a broader law enforcement surge, while Memphis Mayor Paul Young, a Democrat, voiced strong opposition, saying he had not requested the Guard and doubted it would reduce crime. Young pledged to work with federal forces to limit their impact on the community.

The move has sparked political tension, with critics warning it could erode local authority and set a precedent for expanded federal control over city policing. Trump hinted that similar actions could follow in other cities, including Chicago, St. Louis, and Baltimore.
