US to slap new tariffs on Canada (https://globalnews.ca/news/11973157/donald-trump-tariffs-canada-50-per-cent/)
Some beef suppliers have offered settlements after some allegations. Basically, it's alleged that some meat companies secretly agreed to make the price of beef too high (paraphrase, not a lawyer.) If the settlement gets court approval (the judge has to decide if it's a fair deal), and you are eligible, there might be some cash in your future. Not yet though. There's a court hearing in September. Too be continued! See: https://www.beefclassaction.ca/
