The White House says President Donald Trump is with his team – making final decisions on which countries to tariff and how high those tariffs will be. The actual announcement will come on Wednesday afternoon. Some senators are hoping to get the tariffs against Canada blocked – they are arguing the fentanyl crisis is not being fueled at Canada’s border.

And: An annual U.S. list of global trade irritants – now includes Quebec’s language laws as a barrier to American businesses. The list also says Canada’s plan to reduce the use of plastics is a hurdle.

Also: The federal consumer carbon tax is essentially gone. The rate has been set at zero. The tax had been a major issue the conservatives were planning to use against the Liberals during this election. How do the elimination of the tax, and the rebate people were receiving, affect consumers?

Plus: The Conservative leader talks “biological clocks”, Myanmar’s junta is being accused of blocking international aid to the earthquake zone, Premier Danielle Smith defends recent trips to the United States, and more.
