Heading to the U.S.? Here's what Canadians can — and can't — bring across the border under Trump's new import rules - Yahoo News Canada

Planning a trip south with a bottle of Canadian whisky or Niagara wine in your luggage? You may want to leave it at home. New U. S. import restrictions that took effect Sept. 29 prohibit certain Canadian-made products from entering the country. The measures cover a wide range of alcohol, some whey and molasses products, non-alcoholic beer and certain motorcycles. For Canadian travellers, there's an important distinction: these goods aren't simply facing higher tariffs. Products covered by the new rules are banned from importation. Can I bring one bottle of Canadian alcohol into the U. S.? For the Canadian alcohol covered by the new rules, travellers should not assume the usual personal allowance applies. The U. S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau now warns that certain alcoholic beverages that are products of Canada are "excluded from importation" as of Sept. 29. It directs questions about the prohibition to U. S. Customs and Border Protection. That means paying duty at the border does not turn an affected product into an admissible one. The ban replaced the 50 per cent tariff that previously applied to those specific products.

A New Energy: Steering Canada's next oil and gas boom - RBC Thought Leadership -

Canada is on the verge of an oil and gas production upswing. In our high-growth scenario, oil production could rise by two million barrels a day by 2040, and gas production could nearly double. It would bring nationwide benefits but also strain supply chains and labour markets. The next three years could see a project wave last seen in the 2006–14 cycle. LNG Canada Phase 2 and Ksi Lisims LNG, with the pipelines that feed them, target decisions by year-end; Prairie Connector by mid-2027; with the Pacific Link pipeline construction potentially starting in 2027. The Pathways carbon-capture agreements are due by Nov. 15.

How the Canada-U.S. trade war might change your shopping habits - CBC

The Canada-U. S. trade war has reshaped Canadians' view of their country, somewhat rekindled coast-to-coast-to-coast unity and dominated federal and provincial elections. For more than a year it has been steeped in the national psyche, and just when we thought a deal was near with our friend-to-foe southern neighbour, we instead face a new — steeper — round of tariffs, bans and counter-tariffs. Canada began imposing a new round of retaliatory levies on U. S. goods on Sept. 8, after the United States imposed new 50 per cent tariffs on $27.6 billion worth of Canadian goods. The U. S. then responded late last month with a set of bans on Canadian imports on some alcoholic drinks, dairy byproducts, molasses and motorcycles, among others. So, how could the latest in the dispute continue to reshape the Canadian economy? Could the scramble to adapt help us diversify trade partners more quickly? And, what products, if any, could become more difficult to access? CBC News spoke to four experts in supply chains and retail to get a sense of what products could go up in price and how consumers may have to change their habits in the next few months.

Winter sneak peek: Could this be Canada’s warmest winter on record? - The Weather Network

Welcome to the Winter Sneak Peek, Canada! We’ve looked at the data, and Canada is staring down one of its mildest winters in years, and potentially one of the warmest starts on record. We have little doubt the season ahead will lean mild. That signal is strong, thanks to a record-breaking El Niño that is expected to peak around the start of winter. The bigger question is how often winter manages to break through—so how wild winter will be remains up in the air. Official Canadian winter personality: ElusiveWinter may keep ghosting Canada when we expect it to show upLast winter opened with an abundance of Arctic air oozing across the country. This winter will likely begin in almost the opposite direction. It’s possible that December could feel more like an extended fall. What do we already knowStrong El Niño heavily favours warmth.

Canada won’t expand MAID for mental illness alone, minister says - Global News

Canada will not extend medical assistance in dying (MAID) for people who are seeking it on the basis of mental illness alone, Justice Minister Sean Fraser said. Currently, the law excludes MAID for people seeking it on the grounds of mental illness as a sole criteria, but that rule is set to expire in March 2027. The federal government plans to table legislation this fall that will maintain that exclusion “on an indeterminate basis,” Fraser said. “Canada has made a decision not to move forward with the expansion that is scheduled in the Criminal Code of medical assistance in dying in circumstances where mental illness is the sole basis,” he said. A parliamentary committee was tasked with studying whether people with mental illness alone should have access to medical assistance in dying. In a June report, the committee concluded that the controversial planned eligibility expansion should not move ahead. Story continues below advertisement

Canada Has a New Apple. Its Story Is Bananas - The Walrus

The Sunpunch features tropical notes and twenty-five years of research and testing There’s nothing humble about the apple. Pears come in 3,000 varieties but get two nameplates in the grocery store and a guarantee they’ll start to disintegrate somewhere between the shelf and your basket. Grapes? Red. Green. Tossed in piles to mask the mould. While other strange and beautiful fruits decay in outer-shelf purgatory alongside the organic kiwi and packaged golden berries, apples double-park in the centre of the produce aisle, tidy rows of speckled and bicoloured gems with cool names: Spartan. Northern Spy. Pink Lady. Ambrosia. Fuji. Or, if you’re the deep-cuts type: Bloody Ploughman. American Mother. Nonnetit Bastard.
