The U.S. Alcohol Ban Is Now Live: Who's Exempt, Who's Shut Out, and What It Means for Your Wallet

  At 12:01 a.m. ET on Tuesday, Sept. 29, the United States stopped letting most packaged Canadian beer, wine, cider and spirits through the border. Not taxed. Blocked. It's the sharpest step yet in the alcohol front of the trade war, and it lands on a very uneven set of shoulders. Two weeks ago we walked through what was coming. Now that it's live, here's what the ban actually covers, who slips through, and what it does (and doesn't) mean for your own budget. What took effect The White House announced the measures on Sept. 8, after Canada's own retaliation tariffs kicked in. The U.S. framed them as a response to Canada's treatment of American dairy, autos and alcohol, and to provinces pulling U.S. liquor from their shelves. The ban covers packaged Canadian beer (including non-alcoholic), wine, cider and spirits, plus whey products, molasses and motorcycles over 800cc. Many of the alcohol products were already facing a 50% U.S. tariff imposed in August; the ban ...

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You will know just what to say and just when to say it this year. The channel between your brain and your vocal chords is open to such an extent that you will speak almost as quickly as you think – and your thoughts will be touched by genius.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Something you have been trying to keep secret will become public knowledge today and it may be an uncomfortable situation for you. However, you are who you are, you do what you do and there is no reason on earth why you should want to deny it.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

If you call on your powers of persuasion today you will find it ridiculously easy to get others to do what you ask of them. You will achieve more though if you deal with people on a one-to-one level – trying to persuade groups won’t be so easy.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Your schedule may be hugely demanding but because you can see what the long-term rewards could be you are prepared to do whatever it takes to push on and get it all done. Take a break every couple of hours though to refresh your mind and body.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Are all things possible for you now? Well, maybe not all but there are so many opportunities heading your way that your only real problem is going to be how to choose between them. Listen to your inner voice and follow its advice to the letter.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

If a money matter is causing you concern then do something about it. As one of the zodiac’s fire signs you are not the sort to just sit there and wait for life to happen, so identify the problem, roll up your sleeves and get stuck in!

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You may be inclined to give someone you don’t much like a wide berth today but the planets suggest a better tactic would be to approach them and get talking. Chances are you are not as far apart ethically and emotionally as you had previously believed.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

The next few days are going to be extremely busy and if you want to avoid burnout you need to get on top of your to-do list right away. The more of the grunt work you do now the less you will be under the gun later on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Some of your plans will wander off track a bit over the next 24 hours, so be ready to guide them back in the right direction. The more focused you are the less likely it is you will end up miles away from your chosen destination.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You need to find ways to rise above petty disputes and let those around you know that long silences and secret grudges are not the way forward. If you think it might help, swallow your pride and be the first to say sorry. It’s a minor sacrifice.
