In the news today: Trump tariff looms, LGBTQ+ monument opens, Alberta cave rescue

Trump’s tariff threat on $28 billion in Canadian goods was delayed until Saturday, while Ottawa unveiled a monument honoring LGBTQ+ persecution and a caver was freed in Alberta.

  • President Donald Trump's 50 per cent tariff on $28 billion in Canadian goods takes effect tomorrow, following a deadline extension from Wednesday that allows officials to finalize a trade agreement.
  • Trump threatened the new duties in July to retaliate against Canada's booze bans, auto tariffs, and quotas restricting U.S. dairy access, escalating trade tensions between the two nations.
  • In Ottawa, Canada's national monument 'Thunderhead' officially opens today, honoring roughly 9,000 public servants and military members dismissed during the Cold War for their sexual orientation or gender identity.
  • Rescuers successfully freed a caver from the 'Psych Squeeze' in Canmore's Rat's Nest Cave on Saturday, deploying volunteer-built radio technology in an operation involving 13 cave rescuers and 10 firefighters.
  • Opposition to Ontario's proposed nuclear power plant in Port Hope is intensifying, as residents cite the community's fraught 20th-century history with radioactive waste cleanup from uranium refinery operations.
