The verdict· graded 08 Sept

Canada’s counter-tariffs on U.S. goods took effect on September 8, 2026.

The prediction named the effective date, and the official Canadian notices say the counter-tariffs were effective as of 12:01 a.m. on September 8, 2026. That matches the claim exactly, with no date mismatch or other qualifying detail.
