A couple things:
Most immediately, the tariffs are probably a negotiating ploy to get concessions from Canada over a (probably rolling) 30 day window
More broadly, use of Section 338 is an escalation in Trump's tariff powers. If he's more willing to use 338, then lots of trade wars will escalate

ok quick why 338 matters: never-previously-used section of the smoot-hawley tariff act. allows the President to impose up to 50% duties on imports from countries that, in his view discriminate against American commerce. no time limit. unclear on judicial/congressional review.

WaPo reports Louisiana’s governor will announce on Friday that he is suspending the House primaries where people have already started voting and redraw the map; I’d expect them to go for an all-Republican map and eliminate both majority-Black districts, not just one.

I am thinking of so many conversations with undergrads who were uncomfortable with protests, sit-ins, and other tactics that "inconvenienced" white people, and I would ask them what approach Black Americans should have been using instead.
They'd always say "voting" and then the penny dropped.

Carney spends over $2 billion to cut fuel taxes right after cutting $5 billion in funding dedicated towards supporting, maintaining, & upgrading transit in Toronto and across Canada that millions rely on.
Remember, public transit is the real solution to high fuel prices - not temporary tax cuts!
