Canada announced on August 27 that its universities have hired 64 researchers globally, 48 of them from the United States, through a new recruitment initiative. The scientists will share roughly CA$500 million ($360 million) in funding over eight years under the Eddie Goldenberg Research Chairs and Canada Impact+ Emerging Leaders programs, launched in December as part of a broader push to draw foreign talent.

New analysis of trade data breaks down the 2025 tariff exchange between Washington and Ottawa into three measurable pieces: duties U.S. importers have actually paid on Canadian goods, Canada's retaliatory tariffs on American exports, and a modeled estimate of how much of that cost gets passed on to American households through higher prices. The household figure is explicitly flagged as an estimate rather than a hard count, since no government dataset tracks how much of a tariff businesses pass on versus absorb.
After trade talks collapsed, Canada announced tariffs of 25-50% on nearly 900 US goods, including toilet paper and tissue products, set to take effect September 8. This is retaliation for a 50% US tariff hike, and since Canada supplies $328 million worth of toilet paper to the US annually, prices are expected to climb on both sides of the border.
Canada confirmed a new round of tariffs matching Washington's 50% duties, covering more than 700 American products worth roughly $20 billion, set to take effect September 8. The move follows the collapse of trade talks last week, with both governments blaming each other for last-minute demands. Ottawa specifically doubled its tariff on U.S. steel and aluminum to 50% in direct response to similar U.S. levies.
