White House lifts tariffs on some Canadian goods as midterm elections loom53 minutes agoNardine SaadGetty ImagesCanada and the US are currently locked in a tit-for-tat trade war The Trump administration is lifting some of its 50% tariffs on Canadian goods two weeks before the midterm elections, after a Republican candidate in a key Senate race said she had lobbied for the change. Starting on 30 October, tariffs will be eased on products including "plywood sheets, some paper products, certain machinery and refrigeration equipment," the White House said on Friday. Republican Senator Susan Collins, who is in a tight race to keep her seat in Maine, first announced the exemptions, saying they would help her state's agriculture industry.

AHMED ZAKOT/The Globe and MailSeparatist leaders affiliated with the Alberta Prosperity Project say the group’s two most prominent members – Jeffrey Rath and Mitch Sylvestre – were fired by the organization six weeks ago, but the news was kept quiet to avoid derailing the referendum campaign. In a Thursday night social-media post, Tanya Clemens said the APP’s board, of which she says she’s a member, had decided in mid-September to remove Mr. Sylvestre and Mr. Rath from their roles with the group “for cause.”“I didn’t want an internal dispute to become the story when we were trying to have such an important conversation with Albertans about their future,” Ms. Clemens said, explaining why they didn’t publicize the news earlier. Ms. Clemens said that there were concerns about who was given access to the APP’s membership database, how the group approached the referendum campaign, and how the two men conducted themselves leading the movement.
