China hits back at U.S. with counter tariffs, will investigate Google – National

China countered President Donald Trump’s across-the-board tariffs on Chinese products with tariffs on select U.S. imports Tuesday, as well as announcing an antitrust investigation into Google and other trade measures. U.S. tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico were also set to go into effect Tuesday before Trump agreed to a 30-day pause as the two countries acted to appease his concerns about border security and drug trafficking. Trump planned to talk with Chinese President Xi Jinping in the next few days.The Chinese response was “measured,” said John Gong, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing. “I don’t think they want the trade war escalating,” he said. “And they see this example from Canada and Mexico and probably they are hoping for the s...

Despite Trump’s tariff pause, uncertainty looms over Canadian economy – National

Uncertainty still hangs over the Canadian economy despite U.S. President Donald Trump announcing a 30-day pause in tariffs that were to take effect today. The temporary reprieve halts — at least for now — a continental trade war that economists on both sides of the border warned would raise prices.Trump’s decision meant Canada and the provinces also halted their moves to retaliate including with tariffs and bans on U.S. alcohol sales north of the border.Trump on Saturday signed an order to impose 25 per cent across-the-board tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports, with a lower 10 per cent tariff on Canadian energy.On Monday, following two phone calls with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Trump said the tariffs would be off the table for 30 days to see if the two countries could reach a “fin...

Women who give birth to twins two times more at risk of heart disease: Study

Women who give birth to twin babies are two times more at risk of facing a heart problem than those with singleton births, according to a study on Monday. The research, published in the European Heart Journal, showed that the mother of twins is at higher risk of hospitalisation due to heart disease a year after birth. Notably, the risk is even higher in those who had a high blood pressure condition during pregnancy, also known as preeclampsia. The study, led by researchers from Rutgers University in the US, comes as “the rate of twin pregnancies worldwide has risen in recent decades, driven by fertility treatments and older maternal ages”. “The maternal heart works harder for twin pregnancies than for singleton pregnancies, and it takes weeks for the maternal heart to return to its pre...

What causes cancer? The 12 most dangerous things you can do for your health

Studies have shown that many of us are scared of things that are unlikely to kill us, whilst we happily engage in behaviours that might. Some people won’t swim in the sea in case they’re attacked by a shark, whereas others will text whilst they’re driving without a second thought. And yet the lifetime risk of dying from a shark attack is over one in three million, while every 17 minutes someone is killed or seriously injured on UK roads. Why do we feel safer in a car?It’s the same when it comes to our health. A study done by the American Heart Assocation asked North American women ‘What is the disease you fear the most’? 61% of women said cancer, 9% of women said heart disease. And yet the leading cause of death for these women is heart disease. It explains how the things we see and hear c...

Is a recession inevitable? Why tariffs pose worst ‘trade shock’ since 1930s – National

U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada, and Canada’s retaliatory measures, could be the most “significant trade shock” that Canada has suffered in nearly 100 years, economists say. So does that mean a recession is inevitable?A Royal Bank of Canada report on Sunday compared the trade shocks from Trump’s tariffs to the ones caused by the Smoot-Hawley tariffs of the 1930s.The Tariff Act of 1930, which created what’s known as the Smoot-Hawley tariffs, was an American law that raised U.S. tariffs on a sweeping range of products being exported to the United States.The tariffs were widely believed to have worsened the recession during the Great Depression.“This shock far surpasses the 2018 tariffs in magnitude, diminishing the value of that period as a helpful guide for the economic impa...
