Canada's Retaliatory Tariffs On US, Trumpapalooza Convention, Miami Cargo Plane Crash

Canada imposed taxes of up to fifty percent on a range of American goods entering Canada, retaliating for Trump's tariffs on Canadian products. The tariffs will drive up costs and hurt businesses on both sides of the border, with significant impacts on sectors like auto, bourbon, and tourism. Canadians feel angry and betrayed, believing their independence is at stake due to Trump's actions and rhetoric.

Trump wants voters to pretend he is on the ballot to boost turnout for down-ballot Republicans, as polls show Democratic voters are more energized. The convention is being billed as a Trumpalooza, with Trump headlining both nights and focusing on issues shaping the midterms.

Running to Trump and defending his record is an interesting strategy that might work, as running away from him in previous midterms led to losses.

The convention will be the worst infomercial in the history of political campaigning.

The Amazon cargo plane hit several vehicles on the ground after landing, killing five people, and the NTSB recovered flight recorders.

The NTSB is investigating multiple angles, including crew experience and weather, and will examine whether an EMAS system would have prevented the crash.

Miami International Airport is not equipped with an EMAS system, which is not required by the FAA for runways longer than 1,000 feet.
