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. If you're eyeing a dishwasher, laptop, or TV, the "beat the tariff" urgency doesn't apply — those products aren't on the September 8 list...

Your daily horoscope: November 13, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Your powers of persuasion will reach new heights over the coming 12 months and if you use those powers to help other people the results will be awesome both for them and for you. Your voice carries more weight than you probably realize.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

It’s good that you are so cheerful and so involved in what’s going on in the world but there is a cloud on the horizon that you will need to watch carefully. Make sure your joint financial affairs are in good shape today.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

The fact that you have made a big impression on someone in a position of authority will work in your favor later on when you may need their support. The fact that you are such a valuable team player means they will want to protect you.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Do you give someone who has let you down a pass or do you punish them for it? Only you can make that decision but the planets indicate that a lighter touch on your part may work better for you in the long term.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

If you are not sure about accepting an offer of some kind try asking a friend whose judgment you trust what they think you should do. The fact that they can look at the situation through unbiased eyes means their opinions are valuable.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If you push yourself a bit harder over the next 24 hours the next few days after that won’t be such a chore. Preparation is very much the key to success, so look at your current situation from every possible angle before you decide how to act.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

It is a complete waste of time trying to convince people that your viewpoint is the one they should agree with. Let them believe what they want to believe. So long as those beliefs don’t affect you in any way, why should you care?

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You may be tempted to push your luck on the work front today but while Jupiter is going through its retrograde phase you probably won’t get the results you had hoped for. Instead, let others take the initiative and risk making mistakes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

The fact that life has been good to you of late must not blind you to the fact that change is inevitable. Just because things are going well now does not mean they will continue to go well tomorrow and the day after that, so stay sharp.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

There may be odd moments today when your confidence deserts you for no good reason, but while Mercury moves retrograde through your sign you must expect that kind of thing. The bottom line is that nothing bad will come of it, so why worry?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

If a workmate seems intent on belittling your efforts every chance they get then, obviously, the less you see of them the better. Put some distance between you today and don’t be afraid to split from them completely. They don’t own you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Any major decisions you make between now and the weekend may have to be unmade later on, so act as if nothing really matters and leave things as they are for the time being. Why try to change the world when it is easier to adapt?

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Steer clear of fights and feuds that have nothing to do with you. Even if you can see that one side is right and the other side is wrong you won’t change a thing by getting involved. You might though make enemies on both sides!
