12 Days to the Tariff Deadline: What August 19 Actually Means for Your Wallet

  Published August 7, 2026 Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc is back in Washington, Mark Carney says his tone is "quite firm," and the clock is running out on a deal. Here's what's actually on the line — and why it matters even if you've never shipped a case of wine across the border. The countdown: At 12:01 a.m. ET on August 19, new 50% U.S. tariffs are scheduled to hit roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian exports — with or without a deal. What's actually happening on August 19 On July 20, President Trump signed three separate proclamations under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 — a Depression-era provision that had never been used this way before. Each proclamation targets a different Canadian sector the U.S. says is treated unfairly: motor vehicles, alcoholic beverages, and dairy. Every covered good gets hit with an additional 50% tariff the moment it crosses into the U.S. The headline categories get the attention, but the actual product lists — buried ...

Slow-Roasted Salmon with French Herb Salsa

 


Hosting made easy and elegant: let this slow-roasted salmon be the stress-free star of your brunch or buffet.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds salmon fillet, skin on
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon very finely chopped fresh chervil (okay to substitute more parsley if you can’t find it)
  • 1 tablespoon very finely chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 225°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
  2. Place the salmon on a baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle the salt evenly over top. Slide the pan into the oven and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, until the fish begins to flake in the thickest part of the filet when poked with a knife or your finger. (Because this method is so gentle on its proteins, the fish will appear translucent even when it’s cooked.) Using a small spoon, scrape off any white coagulated proteins that may have formed on the salmon.
  3. Break the salmon into large, rustic pieces and spoon the French herb salsa (below) over top. This dish can be served hot, cold, or room temperature.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the shallot and vinegar and let sit for 15 minutes to macerate.
  5. In a separate small bowl, combine the herbs, olive oil, salt, and a few grinds of black pepper.
  6. Just before serving, use a slotted spoon to add the shallot (but not the vinegar, yet) to the herb oil. Stir, taste, and add the vinegar as needed (I usually add 2 to 3 teaspoons). Taste and adjust salt, if necessary.

Make-Ahead Instructions: The salmon can be cooked 1 day ahead of time, covered with plastic wrap, and refrigerated. The French herb salsa can be made, covered, and refrigerated up to 2 days ahead of time.
