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 Grants Pardons to Giuliani and Key Allies in 2020 Election Disputes

President Donald Trump talks with reporters upon his arrival at the White House in Washington, Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025. 


Former President Donald Trump has issued sweeping pardons to Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and several other close allies involved in efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. The proclamation, described as “full, complete, and unconditional,” extends to lawyers, advisers, and staff who played roles in contesting the outcome.

Among those pardoned are attorneys Sidney Powell, John Eastman, and Kenneth Chesebro, as well as former Trump staffers Christina Bobb and Boris Epshteyn. The pardons cover actions tied to organizing alternate slates of electors and promoting claims of election fraud.

While critics argue the move undermines accountability, supporters view it as a defense against what they call political persecution. The pardons apply only to federal offenses, meaning they do not affect ongoing state-level investigations.

This sweeping gesture highlights Trump’s continued loyalty to those who stood by him during one of the most contentious chapters in modern American politics.
