Canada's retaliatory tariffs on US products have officially come into effect. Canada has imposed high taxes on US imports worth about 27.6 billion Canadian dollars. The Canadian Ministry of Finance decided to implement the new tariff rates from midnight on Tuesday after bilateral trade talks between the two countries failed. The decision affects key sectors including steel, aluminum, dairy products and electronic devices.
US President Donald Trump reacted harshly to Canada's new tariff policy. He also threatened to impose a complete ban on the products of leading Canadian aerospace company Bombardier in the US market. However, Bombardier management responded to Trump's warning by stating that its American operations create tens of thousands of jobs in 47 US states.
Canada has increased tariffs on various US products by 15 to 50 percent, in line with the 50 percent tariff increase proposed by the US on Canadian products. This is a clear message from Canada that it will not compromise on protecting its economic interests. Unless the two countries are ready to engage in immediate diplomatic discussions on the issue, this could lead to a serious economic crisis in the North American market.
Not only is there no driver, but there is no steering wheel to steer the car if necessary or a brake pedal to stop it in an emergency. Pushing the boundaries of technology again, Elon Musk officially launched his dream project, the 'Cybercab' robotaxi service, in Austin, Texas. The maiden voyages of these driverless taxis are also the answer to the big question of whether passengers have the courage to hand over complete control of the vehicle to a computer.
These futuristic cars operate on technology that uses only cameras and artificial intelligence to read letters without errors. As if in retaliation for the recent stock declines that Tesla has faced, Tesla's stock value suddenly jumped by five percent with a new test of new robotaxi. However, with rivals including Google's Waymo already dominating the market, it's a huge test for Tesla to get there without any accidents.
The debate is heating up about how popular people will make a journey without a human in the driving seat and without even a steering wheel to take control of in case of an accident. Even without a driver or steering wheel, emergency push buttons and large entertainment screens are equipped to stop the vehicle quickly. Fans hope that if they completely bypass road safety laws and permits, this Musk magic will be able to completely change the way we travel in the future.
The Bank of Canada has left interest rates unchanged in Canada. The central bank has stated that the bank's main interest rate will remain at 2.25 percent. Economists point out that this decision will not provide much immediate relief to ordinary people who are currently burdened by debt.
The fact that existing borrowing costs will not increase because interest rates are not being increased is a temporary relief. However, economist Steve Hatsipantalis stated that this will not immediately benefit ordinary people who are struggling due to large-scale loan repayments and sharp price increases.
Canadian families are currently facing the highest financial obligations and living expenses in history. Therefore, experts warn that people should change their family budget priorities and pay off high-interest loans as soon as possible. The report says that the tendency to spend money unnecessarily is increasing among people due to severe economic uncertainties and psychological stress.
Experts say that in the current context, priority should be given to paying off high-interest debts as soon as possible and avoiding unnecessary expenses.
A strange phenomenon in Williston Reservoir, the largest reservoir in British Columbia, Canada, is gaining international attention. A huge island filled with plants and trees is floating in the water, disappearing and reappearing in other places.
This ‘floating forest’, about 70 meters wide and 140 meters long, is the size of a football field. It was first seen near Finlay Bay in Williston Reservoir in July. It was clear in satellite images, but by August it had disappeared. Weeks later, the island was found washed up on the other side of the reservoir in strong winds.
Williston is the seventh largest artificial reservoir in the world. Officials say it is difficult to find the island in this huge body of water, which is about 250 kilometers long. The reservoir is currently at its highest level in 14 years. It is believed that the area, which had been a tangle of rotting logs and tree roots for years, may have been separated from the shore and floated in the water as the water level rose.
This island, which has formed over the years, is believed to be home to various species of fish, birds, small creatures, and trees. The strong links of tree roots have kept it from sinking. Although it looks like an island from a fairy tale, scientists warn that climbing on it is quite dangerous and that no one should try to get on it.
Canada's electricity agency BC Hydro has stated that this is not a threat to the dam at the moment. Floating islands formed by soil and roots in a similar way have been found in Chippewa Lake in Wisconsin, USA.
Who would say no to an opportunity to eat ice cream and travel to different countries? And a salary of lakhs of rupees per month. It may be hard to believe, but it is true. Famous American rapper and prominent businessman Snoop Dogg is looking for an 'International Ice Cream Taster' for his ice cream brand. The salary is 10,000 US dollars per month. The news of this 'sweet job', which ordinary people cannot even imagine, is now making waves on social media.
This rare appointment is for the popular ice cream brand 'Doctor Bombay', which Snoop Dogg started with his son Cordell Broadus in 2023. Snoop Dogg directly told the world about this great opportunity through TikTok. The main job is to travel to different parts of the world and find new ice cream flavors and trends and report back to the company. Applications are invited through the global job platform 'Deal'. Anyone from any corner of the world with a passport and an undying love for ice cream can apply. The company mainly expects a passion for flavors and the ability to recognize trends rather than major culinary degrees. The company also states that Snoop Dogg will personally call the selected person and convey his surprise wishes.
A Canadian woman was arrested last month for carrying a banned Garmin In-Reach device through airports in India. Tina Lewis, 51, was sent to a Goa jail after the device was found in her luggage. Lewis, a telemedicine nurse practitioner and ultra-marathon runner, arrived at Dabolim International Airport on December 5 to fly to Kerala and was found to have the device during a security check. Lewis was unaware that the Garmin In-Reach Mini was banned in India by law.
Immediately after finding the device, officers of the Central Industrial Security Force at the Naval Base Airport handed Lewis over to the local police. After a court hearing, Lewis was allowed to be released from detention in Goa and resume his journey. The court imposed a fine of 16 Canadian dollars and Lewis got his passport back six days later.
Lewis was released on bail after talking to people he knew and hiring a female lawyer. After discussing the matter with the lawyers, it was decided not to contact the Canadian embassy. This was done because the case was likely to drag on for months.
Apart from India, several countries including China, Russia, and Pakistan have imposed legal restrictions on traveling with GPS devices.
Quebec is the only province in Canada where final exams account for 50 percent of high school students’ final grades. Most students say the final exam feels like a judgment call. Some students said that if students can’t remember everything they’ve learned in a year, all their hard work will be wasted in three hours.
Students across the province are preparing for their ministerial exams. The pressure is mounting on students. Concerns are rising about the pressure, the vulnerability of students, and the stifling of creativity. Teachers and students alike are calling for the elimination of final exams. The province has standardized the 10th and 11th grade exams in French, English, math, history, and science. All of these are worth 25 to 35 percent of final grades. But some, including Quebec and Canadian history and basic French as a second language, are worth 50 percent. Other Canadian provinces also administer standardized tests. But teachers and students say they are not as stressful as Quebec's.
Meanwhile, Quebec is not the only province to place such a high value on these tests. Alberta reduced its equivalent diploma exams to 30 percent 10 years ago.
A 45-year-old illegal immigrant has been arrested in a case of embezzling more than $1.8 million in financial assistance from the Quebec government using fake addresses and documents. Omar Ndia, a native of Senegal, was taken into custody by Montreal police on charges including forgery and fraud. The prosecution told the court that he submitted about 55 fake applications between March 2024 and this past August, defrauding the Ministry of Social Welfare and receiving money from 37 applications.
Although the financial assistance applications were made under different names, the similarity in the images submitted in all these applications led to the discovery of the fraud. Police also obtained CCTV footage of withdrawing money using other people's bank cards and receiving letters from mailboxes with strangers' addresses. In addition, police found more than 140 letters from the government and banks, as well as a fake Congolese passport with Ndiaye's picture in the rented house where he previously lived.
The prosecution strongly argued in court that the defendant should not be granted bail until the trial is completed. Judge Sonia Maestro Mateo accepted the argument that he was likely to leave the country because he was living under fake addresses. However, Ndiaye told the court that he would not leave the country and that "living in Canada is his big dream." The man, who was currently working as a dishwasher in Canada without legal status, could face up to five years in prison if convicted. The case will be heard again in October.
Without waiting for the autumn to end, Alberta has unexpectedly arrived at the end of August! The beautiful sight of the mountains covered in white silk amazed locals and tourists alike who woke up on Sunday morning. This 'summer snowfall', which has temporarily avoided big cities and camped only on the high mountains, has turned the mountainous regions into a winter wonderland. The temperature at the center of the Nakiska Ridgetop plunged to minus 0.1 degrees Celsius, recording extremely cold temperatures.
The scenes captured by live cameras at the world-famous ski resorts of Banff Sunshine and Lake Louise create the impression of a snowy dream world. The Facebook post shared by Banff Sunshine has already gone viral on social media. Meteorologists estimate that the snow depth in the Kananaskis region will increase from 2200 meters to 2700 meters in the coming hours.
This sudden snowfall has also started a big discussion about the winter forecast. According to the forecast of the leading weather agency 'OpenSnow', major cities such as Edmonton and Calgary will experience higher than normal temperatures in the coming months. However, the 'Farmers Almanac' warns that the winter of 2026–2027 will be very intense and full of quite diverse changes. Environment and Climate Change Canada has announced that it will soon release a final report explaining what awaits Alberta in September.
A Canadian man received a huge bill of $1,130 for towing and storage charges for a car he sold 15 years ago. This rare experience happened to Mario Iamundo, a native of Ontario, Canada.
Mario had sold his 2002 Honda CR-V to someone else in 2012. However, neither the person who bought the car nor the people who used it later legally changed the name. After the vehicle was illegally parked, a private towing company seized the car and moved it to their yard. Since Mario’s name is still on the official government records, the company sent him the bill.
According to the Motor Vehicle Act of Ontario, the buyer must complete the name change within six days after selling a vehicle. In addition, the previous owner is responsible for ensuring that the sale information and name change are complete. If the name change is not completed, the previous owner will be responsible for any legal issues and fines incurred by the vehicle.
Experts point out that the way to avoid such traps is to hand over the keys only after ensuring that the name change has been completed when selling vehicles.
24 Canadians among those missing in Nepal floods. According to reports so far, more than 160 people have died in the disaster and more than 400 are missing. It has been confirmed that Canadian citizens are also among them.
In addition to the 24 Canadians, 133 tourists from India, 47 from the United States, 34 from Australia and 33 from the United Kingdom are missing. This includes an Indian group that went on a pilgrimage to Kailash. 62 locals who went on a pilgrimage to Gosaikunda Lake in Nepal and 28 policemen who were on security duty are also missing.
Many roads and bridges collapsed in the floods and many houses were submerged in mud. Hydroelectric projects in the region also suffered major damage. Meteorologists said the flash floods were caused by a landslide in the Himalayan region. The Trishuli River rose by 9 meters (27 feet) in half an hour.
The Nepalese government has made all arrangements for rescue operations. India and China have offered assistance. Authorities have warned people in the affected areas to be vigilant and stay away from riverbanks.
A US-born priest who sexually assaulted a young woman on the pretext of conducting spiritual rituals has been arrested in Oshawa, Canada. The Durham Regional Police have taken into custody Rajendranath Dudnath Maharaj, a resident of Richmond Hill, New York. The complainant's family had invited him to Canada from the United States for spiritual rituals.
The man committed the assault by making the young woman believe that she was possessed by evil spirits and that special rituals were necessary to get rid of this.
Police said that he took the young woman to a private place on the pretext of a spiritual ceremony and then sexually assaulted her. Based on a complaint received on Tuesday, August 25, the police reached the spot and arrested the accused. He has been charged with sexual assault and produced in court for bail.
Durham Police suspect that he may have abused more people in a similar manner, as he travels internationally for spiritual work. The investigation into the case is ongoing and anyone with further information is asked to contact Durham Regional Police or the Criminal Investigation Branch.
The state government’s ambitious data centre plans to make Alberta a leading investment hub in the artificial intelligence sector are drawing public attention. As part of this, Minister Nate Glubish held a second public meeting. The public meeting was held in Sturgeon County, home to the $1.3 billion state-of-the-art AI data centre that Meta plans to build. The town hall aimed to address concerns about the project’s local impacts and transparency.
The government held the second public meeting after strong opposition and protests at the first meeting in Lacombe. Local residents are concerned that the large amount of energy and water needed to operate the data centres will strain the power grid and affect the availability of drinking water in the farming sector. In addition, the question of whether this will lead to an increase in household electricity rates for the poor was also raised. But the minister explained that strict guidelines have been put in place to keep local water resources safe and to avoid increases in electricity rates.
While the government’s primary goal is to bring significant economic investment and high-tech jobs to the province, the public’s position is that it will not compromise on the need to ensure local amenities and environmental sustainability. An online virtual town hall meeting, including Alberta Premier Daniel Smith, will be held on August 27 to explain the next steps of the project and to address public concerns. In addition, the government has scheduled an in-person town hall meeting next month in Grand Prairie, where another centre is coming.

New York: Daeun Kim, a 17-year-old student from Staten Island, New York, has come out with a demand to make school fare to Manhattan free. She made the request on Instagram after her letters to Mayor Sohran Mamdani went unanswered.
While regular public transportation is free, the express buses that Staten Island students rely on are not exempted. The huge cost: Kim says her parents have had to pay $18,270 in bus fares just to get her and her brother to school over the past four years.
Kim explains that her Korean immigrant parents work hard for their education and that the intervention came after she saw the hardships of her mother, who works as a nail polisher. Huge support: This video, shared on Instagram, has already been viewed by millions of people.
But there has been no response from the mayor's office on the matter. After school, Kim wants to study psychology at Cornell University and start an art therapy foundation for immigrants.

Canada's public health system is facing a serious crisis, according to the latest national survey results. 63 percent of the country's people believe that the health care system in their provinces is in a critical state. The survey was conducted by Abacus Data and Research Co. The survey shows that the shortage of doctors and nurses and long wait times in hospitals are the biggest concerns for people. About 55 percent of people said that medical facilities have worsened in the past five years.
Due to this waiting time in the medical field, millions of patients are suffering for hours in emergency departments. According to a report released by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, one in ten people who visit emergency departments have to wait more than two days to receive further treatment. Due to the increase in patients and staff shortages, about 1.2 million people have returned without completing their examinations in a year. Bureaucracy and administrative shortcomings are the main reasons for the current collapse, with 12 percent pointing out.
Despite widespread dissatisfaction with the system, Canadians still have faith in the publicly funded healthcare model. 85 percent of respondents said that the country's fundamental principle is free healthcare that prioritizes individual needs over financial means. Most people are concerned that the entry of the private sector will increase the cost of treatment and make services inaccessible to ordinary people. People are calling for the current system to be reorganized and improved.
A 42-year-old Montreal man has been arrested in connection with a case involving the forging of fake documents and the issuance of visas to several people. The case was filed following an investigation by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).
The main allegation against him is that he helped prepare fake visas and refugee applications for about 60 people between January 2022 and March 2024. In addition, the investigating agency states that he facilitated the illegal entry and stay of 53 people in Canada using the forged visas.
It has also been found that he committed fraud by creating sponsorship letters using four fake Canadian passports. He claimed to be a leading immigration consultant with offices in Canada, France and Bangladesh. In May 2025, police found crucial documents related to the fraud during a search of his home. Kasim has been charged with five serious crimes, including conspiracy, facilitating illegal entry, and using a forged passport.
However, police have received information that Kasim left Canada in June 2025.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have arrested a minor teenager who was planning to carry out a terrorist attack on a school in Montreal, Canada. He was taken into custody at his home on Friday after a weeks-long investigation based on information provided by the American intelligence agency, the FBI.
It is suspected that he used artificial intelligence to plan the attack. In addition, he spread threatening messages targeting Muslims, the Haitian community and the LGBTQ+ community through the Telegram platform, police spokesman Ensign Eric Gass said.
The man was taken into custody by the Joint Investigative Team (INSET), which ensures national security. Police said they are questioning him and are continuing to search the home for electronic devices.
Legal action is being taken to prevent suspicious movements and keep them under surveillance. The police added that he will be produced in the juvenile court on Saturday and a proper charge sheet will be filed after further investigations.
Halton Regional Police have arrested a suspect in a series of thefts of luxury cars using digital tracking devices in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area. Darrell Dawns, a native of St. Jerome, Quebec, has been charged with 29 counts of vehicle theft, including attempted theft, for stealing or stealing 14 premium Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
Investigators said the suspect, who was previously on bail for similar crimes, was continuing his thefts in the same manner.
The investigation began last April when an Oakville resident found an unfamiliar ‘Acuteg’ tracking device in his vehicle and reported it to police. The suspect primarily targeted expensive vehicles parked in busy public areas such as shopping malls and hotel parking lots.
The suspect would stick these GPS or Bluetooth trackers behind the license plate, inside the side mirror, in the wheel wells or on the bumpers, out of the way of drivers. He would then track the vehicle’s movements via a mobile app and steal the vehicle while it was parked in a secluded area with no security cameras or witnesses.
Halton Police warned the public to be vigilant as large criminal gangs are using such technology.
Police urged people to make it a habit to check their vehicles before taking them out of parking areas and to report any unfamiliar tracking devices to police immediately without removing them. Police added that the digital evidence and fingerprints contained in the devices can help identify criminals quickly, so they should not try to remove them themselves. The investigation into this case is still ongoing.
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has temporarily allowed telecom companies to sell locked cellphones. The decision will be very beneficial for major companies such as Bell and Telus.
However, according to the new consumer law, if a customer requests it, the phone must be unlocked immediately without any additional cost. Or, the phones must be set up to unlock themselves within two business days. The CRTC's new decision follows complaints from companies that unlocked phones are more likely to be stolen and resold.
Locking phones was banned in Canada in 2017 to make it easier to switch mobile service providers. Unlocking is being kept free and easy to protect consumers' freedom along with security. The CRTC clarified that the new decision is temporary and that the current terms will continue until a final decision is made on the matter.
Police and social workers in Edmonton, Canada, have expressed serious concern over the increasing number of violent incidents and murders involving teenagers. The recent tragic deaths of two teenagers have shaken the city. Earlier this month, a 12-year-old boy was found dead, and a 16-year-old girl was shot to death.
Another 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the incident and charged with second-degree murder.
Officials of 'Youkan', an organization that works to deter young people from the path of violence, pointed out that the current situation is a serious failure of various social systems. Children are now committing violent crimes, including drug and gun use, at a much younger age than before. Social workers also warn that adult criminals are taking advantage of juvenile laws that guarantee only light sentences and are preying on and using children.
Edmonton Police Chief Warren Drieschel said it is a very frightening situation to see teenagers committing crimes with guns in public. Experts say that imprisonment alone cannot bring back young people who turn to violence, and they need to be provided with mental health support and rehabilitation. Police are appealing to families, schools, community organizations and law enforcement to work together to prevent such tragic incidents from happening again.
The temporary fuel tax exemption for vehicle owners in Canada may end soon. With this, it is indicated that fuel prices may increase again from September.
The temporary fuel excise tax exemption announced by the central government is reported to end by September 7. The full tax rate will come into effect from September 8. Prime Minister Mark Carney waived fuel tax from April 20 in the wake of the sharp rise in oil prices following the Iran war. The exemption was 10 cents per liter for petrol and four cents for diesel.
With the reinstatement of the tax, the price of petrol may increase by 10 to 11 cents per liter. Filling a 50-liter tank will cost an additional five to six dollars. Fuel prices are likely to rise further as gas stations switch to more expensive "winter grade" gas by September and supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz due to Middle East tensions are likely to push fuel prices higher. The federal government has not yet officially announced a decision on extending the tax break.
The US administration’s global drug pricing policies and trade pressures are reportedly delaying or canceling the supply of new life-saving drugs in Canada. Global companies are falling behind in bringing even drugs officially approved by Health Canada to the market. The current crisis is mainly due to Canada’s strict drug price control standards and the US’s ‘Most Favoured Nation’ policy framework.
In the past year, the supply of about 50 cutting-edge drugs for cancer, rare kidney diseases, and neurological disorders has been disrupted or canceled in Canada. For example, even though a new drug developed by Novartis Canada for the treatment of a rare kidney disease has received government approval, the company has stated that it will not launch it on the market due to the current economic and diplomatic situation. Manufacturers are withdrawing from distribution in countries like Canada, fearing that selling drugs at lower prices in other countries will significantly affect prices in the American market.
Health experts point out that even if a new drug is approved in Canada, it takes an average of more than two years for it to reach ordinary patients. Due to the long approval process and the decline in per capita profits, multinational companies’ preference for the lucrative American market has put the Canadian health sector in an urgent crisis. The medical community is putting strong pressure on the Canadian government to review drug testing standards and make timely changes to pricing policies to address this supply bottleneck that threatens patients’ lives.
A 16-year-old girl was killed in a shooting in Northeast Edmonton early Sunday morning. Police arrived at the scene around 5:30 a.m. and found the girl seriously injured. She was immediately taken to the hospital, but her life could not be saved.
The police homicide unit has taken over the case due to the mystery surrounding the incident. The girl's name has not yet been released.
No one has been arrested in connection with the shooting. Evidence is being collected from the scene. Police are trying to gather information from nearby residents and witnesses. Police have appealed to the public to help with the investigation by providing CCTV footage from homes in the area.
The murder, which occurred near a residential area, has left local residents in deep fear. Police have intensified patrols in the area to ensure safety. Police officials said the investigation is ongoing and the culprits will be found soon.

The Canadian government’s 42-year legal battle to deport Vincenzo ‘Jimmy’ DiMaria, a major Toronto mafia boss, to Italy has suffered another setback. The Immigration and Refugee Board has rejected the government’s petition, citing the government’s failure to prove Jimmy DiMaria’s ties to mafia gangs.
Born in Italy in 1955, DiMaria came to Canada with his parents. However, he did not receive Canadian citizenship. This was prevented by his conviction in a case in which he shot and killed a man after he did not return money. Although the first order to deport him, who had been sentenced to prison for second-degree murder in 1982, was issued in 1984, DiMaria has been resisting it through legal means.
The Toronto head of the Italian organized crime group ‘Ndrangheta The police allege that Di Maria is the ringleader. However, the board stated that neither the police nor the government have been able to prove that Di Maria has any connection with the mafia or money laundering. The appeal was dismissed, stating that the government's allegations were mere suspicions and lacked solid evidence. This paved the way for Di Maria to continue living in Canada.
Two planes flying with the same flight number in Phoenix, USA narrowly escaped a major disaster. The disaster was averted by the timely intervention of the air traffic controller. Both planes took off at the same time with American Airlines flight number 2482.
The confusion was caused by the delay of the flight from Chicago due to bad weather. Before this plane arrived, the airline company had given permission for another plane to depart from Phoenix with the same flight number. With this, two planes arrived in the same airspace with the same call sign and the threat of collision arose.
However, the air traffic controller, realizing the risk, correctly classified the incoming and departing planes and instructed the pilots. He instructed the plane that was coming to land to remain at a higher altitude and the plane that had departed not to fly higher. Both planes continued their journey safely due to the vigilance of the controller and pilots. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and American Airlines have announced investigations into the incident.
Police have arrested two Romanian nationals who tried to steal money from ATMs in York Region near Toronto. They tried to steal money by sticking double-sided tapes on the cash dispensers of ATM machines. The suspects were caught in an investigation conducted by the York Regional Police’s Financial Crimes Unit after receiving 14 such fraud complaints from various banks between June 17 and July 27.
The suspects would stick double-sided tapes in advance on the ATM’s cash dispenser slots. When customers withdrew money, the tape would catch the money partially or completely, preventing it from coming out and getting stuck inside the machine. When customers left without receiving the money, the suspects would go to the ATM and take the stuck money and leave.
The suspects were arrested on August 6. The suspects were identified as Raswan Senica (41) and Vasile Stoyan (52). Both have been charged with theft under $5,000 and destruction of public property. Police seized a large amount of double-sided tape and metal pieces made for fraud from them. It has been found that the suspects traveled extensively in southwestern Ontario. Therefore, police suspect that more people may have been scammed.
Authorities urged the public to immediately report any irregularities or suspicious circumstances at ATMs to the bank or police.
