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.

UK Court Convicts Two Men in Deadly IS-Inspired Plot Against Jewish Community

Two men have been found guilty of preparing acts of terrorism in a plot to massacre hundreds of Jews in northwest England. Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, were convicted at Preston Crown Court after investigators uncovered their plan to smuggle automatic weapons and ammunition into the UK.

Authorities revealed that the men intended to launch a gun rampage targeting mass gatherings of Jewish people. Saadaoui had arranged for four AK-47 rifles, two pistols, and 900 rounds of ammunition to be imported, believing he was working with a fellow extremist. In reality, he was communicating with an undercover operative known as “Farouk,” who exposed the plot.

Police described the scheme as potentially “one of, if not the, deadliest terrorist attacks in UK history.” The convictions come amid heightened fears of resurgent Islamic State activity, following recent IS-inspired attacks abroad, including a deadly shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney.

Saadaoui’s brother, Bilel Saadaoui, 36, was also convicted for failing to disclose information about the planned attack.

Counterterrorism officials emphasized that the case highlights the ongoing threat posed by extremist groups and the importance of vigilance against rising antisemitism.
