US-Canada Trade Deal Collapses: PM Carney Announces Retaliatory Tariffs
β€’ Trade talks between Canada and the United States have officially collapsed after both sides failed to reach an agreement.
β€’ A trade tariff is simply an extra fee or tax added to goods when they move from one country to another.
β€’ The United States introduced new 50 percent tariffs targeting billions in Canadian goods like dairy, steel, and appliances.
β€’ Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney rejected the deal, stating that America is trying to break Canada to gain control, but Canada will not break.
β€’ Canada announced it will fight back dollar for dollar by placing matching tariffs on US products starting September 8.
β€’ A key fact behind the scenes is that the US wanted restrictions on Canada signing free trade deals with other international partners.
β€’ Another major fact is that Canada supplies 99 percent of America’s natural gas imports and 85 percent of its imported electricity, showing deep mutual dependency.

🚨 A big debate is happening at an Ontario high school after students were handed booklets about using illegal drugs safely.
πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Workers from the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) visited Barrie North Collegiate Institute during a wellness event.
πŸ“„ Along with other health items, they handed students a pamphlet titled "Safer Snorting".
❄️ The booklet included information on how people use illegal drugs like co***ne and ways to protect their health while doing it.
πŸ›‘ Many parents and students were shocked and angry, saying the school should never give children instructions on how to use illegal substances.
πŸ—£οΈ People argued that handing out these guides normalizes dangerous drugs instead of teaching kids to stay away from them completely.
🏫 Following the backlash, the school board stated they are reviewing the incident to ensure future materials fit proper education guidelines.
πŸ™ The head of CMHA Ontario apologized, stating they do not want to promote drug use to youth and called the booklet an unvetted mistake.
