Canadian Industry Minister Melanie Joly said on Thursday that Canada will respond to US President Donald Trump's 50 percent tariff on copper imports. Trump's tariff will take effect from August 1.

Joly said that we will fight against it, but she did not give any details about what steps Canada might take. It is worth noting that President Trump, describing copper as the second most used material in defense, had called it a matter of national security and said that he was imposing tariffs to prevent copper from coming from abroad.

According to Natural Resources Canada, in 2023, the United States was Canada's largest copper importer. After that, China and Japan were in the same place. Trump's latest threat comes as Canada and the United States are negotiating to reach a trade agreement by July 21.

Alberta rules on school library books to start Oct. 1

Alberta's education minister says school libraries must pull explicit, sexual content from their shelves starting Oct. 1. Demetrios Nicolaides says the province's new standards aren't about banning books but ensuring kids aren't exposed to the wrong material for their age. The government has issued a list of specific sex acts that cannot be explicitly described in library books. It considers mentions of kissing, hugging or handholding as not sexual in nature and not part of the ban. Religious texts, such as the Bible, are also exempt.

Nearly six months after the program was shut down, Transport Canada is reopening its claims system so that dealerships can refund the rebates given to customers. Ottawa shut down the program after American electric car company Tesla filed millions of dollars in subsidy claims in a short period of time. The government said the funding allocated for th
