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. The US imposed a 50% levy on $20bn (£15bn) of Canadian goods after trade talks between the two countries collapsed in August.

Canada’s Wonderland gives update on Leviathan and Behemoth coasters - CP24
Published: October 24, 2026 at 5:31p.m. EDTThe Leviathan and Behemoth roller-coasters at Canada’s Wonderland may not reopen until the 2027 season, as the amusement park’s owner has launched an independent review of all the rides following a deadly incident at a Six Flags property in Georgia earlier this month. A spokesperson for Six Flags confirmed on Saturday that a timeline for reopening the Leviathan and Behemoth has not yet been established. Most of the coasters at the Vaughan, Ont., amusement park close for the winter after its Halloween events. The two coasters and six others in the U. S. and Canada have been shut down since Oct. 12 after a rider was ejected from his seat on the Goliath coaster at Six Flags Over Georgia and died. Those rides all share the same manufacturer and a similar restraint system. On Friday, the chief executive of Six Flags announced that the company will bring in independent engineers and inspectors to review the safety procedures for all rides across its parks. “Six Flags and Canada’s Wonderland have a comprehensive, multilayered safety and inspection program.
