Most of Ontario's car-assembly jobs depend on US buyers, and President Trump says Canadian cars will face a 50 per cent US tariff in 2027

More than 2,000 Brampton autoworkers have been laid off since Stellantis idled their plant. Its planned Jeep Compass went to Illinois. In October 2025 Ottawa halved Stellantis's quota of US-built vehicles free of Canada's 2025 tariff, citing broken commitments. The US points to such cuts in its case for the August 22 tariffs. Stellantis may sell the plant, and Unifor blames the plan for a bargaining impasse. President Trump has announced a 50 per cent tariff on Canadian cars for 2027.

Western Alaska's missing salmon and the fight over pollock trawlers

Western Alaska's salmon collapsed, and Yukon River families who lived on them cannot fish for chinook salmon through 2030. Offshore, pollock trawlers legally catch salmon by accident, as bycatch. Federal scientists say a major factor in the chinook decline was deaths at sea, connected to heatwaves. With river chinook fishing suspended, bycatch is where rules can still tighten. A proposed cap on chum bycatch and a Senate bill aim there. In summer 2026 more salmon returned. Researchers are not calling it a recovery.
