The first annual payment for the subscription is set at $205.00 plus GST for a year, with automatic renewal at $233.00 plus GST every 52 weeks. The subscription offers a 10% discount off the regular annual price of $259.35 and is available to new and qualified returning subscribers only, with the option to cancel anytime.\n\nDespite the latest escalation in trade tensions, economists believe the impact on Canadian economic growth will be limited. TD Economics notes that the U.S. response to Ottawa’s counter-tariffs involves three actions: stopping the import of certain products, removing tariffs on a few products, and imposing new tariffs on others. The shift in tariff focus, according to the economists, should not have a significant impact on domestic growth in the near term, but it represents \"another manifestation of policy uncertainty\" that increases concerns about U.S. market access and negatively affects Canadian firms.\n\nCapital Economics shares a similar view, stating that the U.S. ban on Canadian goods, including whey, alcoholic beverages, and motorcycles, will have \"little effect on either economy.\" However, the economists warn that the escalation could lead to longer-lasting tariffs, potentially causing more damage to the Canadian economy and possibly resulting in a stagnation or contraction in the fourth quarter.",
