The idea of an undefined associate role for Canada feels rushed when it still needs unanimous approval from all 27 member states.

The European Union has offered Canada its first-ever associate membership spanning trade, defense, minerals, energy, space and research, a move that drew sharp criticism from Trump who warned of tariffs and potential consequences. Across the US-Canada border, small businesses face a costly trade war with tariffs totaling about 5.5% of bilateral trade and some products facing up to 50% taxes, hurting cross-border sales and raising costs amid broader global tensions such as the Iran conflict.

Mauricio Pochettino’s first USMNT camp for the 2030 cycle omits Christian Pulisic, instead highlighting 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan and other teenagers as the squad prepares for friendlies against Peru, Chile, Mexico and Canada, with Yunus Musah recalled. The move signals a youth-forward rebuild for the program and comes amid talk of a strained Pulisic-Pochettino relationship after Pulisic’s 2025 Gold Cup absence and limited club playing time.

Canada’s housing data is released as the U.S. markets brace for a Fed rate decision amid stubborn inflation, while China’s August data show weak consumer demand but solid industrial output, highlighting a divergence in the world’s second-largest economy alongside still-elevated geopolitical concerns. Gold sits near a one-month low ahead of the FOMC outcome as higher US yields and rate-cut expectations keep pressure on non-yielding bullion.

Gold prices near a low makes sense with higher US yields and mixed China data. The Fed move could ease some pressure if it cuts rates.

Unifor and Stellantis have hit an impasse after 10 days of bargaining over the future of the Brampton Assembly Plant, with talks paused as the Sept. 11 deadline passes and uncertainty looming for Windsor and Etobicoke plans alongside a possible Brampton closure or sale to a third party. As the contract expiry approaches on Sept. 20, Unifor seeks a deal that protects members’ jobs and benefits, while Stellantis presses for a Canada-focused agreement amid past promises and tariff tensions involving the United States and President Donald Trump.

US and Mexico Seek Interim Trade Deal Before Midterms

The US and Mexico are pushing to seal a bilateral USMCA-related deal before the U.S. midterms, with Canada effectively sidelined as talks focus on higher North American content, relief from Section 232 tariffs, and closing loopholes around third-country shipments, including Chinese involvement. Amid ongoing meetings and a sense of urgency, officials say a year-end agreement is plausible as both sides seek tariff relief for autos and aluminum and to reassure markets that supply chains remain tightly integrated.

Tariffs enacted since January 2025 have saddled Michigan and other states with billions in added costs, with Michigan facing roughly $23 billion in tariffs overall and about $10 billion tied to cars and trucks, driving higher prices for households and manufacturers.

Hasan Piker Posts That “Twitter Is Especially Not Real Life” While Contrasting Platform Reactions to Coverage of Him
Twitch streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker (@hasanthehun) wrote that social media platforms are not real life, with Twitter/X being “especially” disconnected from it. The post quotes a thread by fellow left-leaning streamer @susravioli compiling hundreds of Facebook comments on a Fox News Politics page that were largely defensive or supportive of Hasan (contrary to what critics hoped). It is circulating mainly in online left/right political and streaming circles amid recent mainstream coverage of Piker’s past statements on violence, interviews, and platform disparities, drawing replies from fans and critics.
