What happened, for context

Canada imposed retaliatory tariffs on approximately $20 billion worth of U.S. goods, effective at or around 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on Canadian goods imposed on August 19, 2026. Simultaneously, Trump threatened to block Bombardier, a Canadian aircraft manufacturer, from selling in the U.S. unless it manufactures planes domestically. Trade negotiations between the two countries had collapsed in late August with no new talks scheduled.

Not yet confirmed against a primary source

Confirm that 'Section 338' tariffs is the correct term used by the Trump administration. The term appears unusual; verify whether outlets accurately report the official designation of Trump's tariff authority.
Verify the Bank of Canada study cited by thestar.com regarding the 2025 counter-tariffs: confirm it exists, the specific date it was released, and whether the 6% price increase figure at mid-June is accurately represented.
Confirm the date Prime Minister Mark Carney 'pulled his negotiators out of Washington' as stated by globalnews.ca. This specific action is not directly confirmed in most other outlet reporting.
Verify whether Gulfstream Aerospace certification issue referenced by nationalpost.com as 'since been resolved' has official Canadian confirmation and timeline.
