On Friday, General Motors announced a summer-long halt to production in Ingersoll, Ontario, adding to worries about the long term effects of this trade war and what comes next..

In the wake of Canada’s strained relationship with the US, travelling for some Canadians has become increasingly difficult. Stories of Canadian travellers being stopped or even detained at the border have become more common, and are causing stress among vacationers.

Before Elon Musk joined forces with Donald Trump, Tesla dominated the US electric vehicle market with some of the best-selling EVs in North America. But starting this year, Tesla became the target of protest and vandalism across the US, not long after Musk was accused of a Nazi salute, and began firing thousands of federal workers in Washington, DC.
