Starting Monday, Ontario will impose a 25% tariff on electricity sold to 1.5 million Americans in Minnesota, New York, and Michigan. This decision by Premier Doug Ford comes as a direct response to President Trump's recent tariffs on Canadian goods and energy, which include a 25% tariff on Canadian goods and a 10% levy on energy. Both Ford and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed a commitment to retaliate until all tariffs are lifted, reflecting escalating trade tensions between the two nations.
"This Monday, we're putting a tariff, a 25 per cent tariff, on the electricity to the 1.5 million homes and businesses in those three states," Ford said on CNN.
Canada will respond strongly to tariffs, PM says: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking in Ottawa on Thursday, said the federal government is focused on reducing the impacts of the tariffs.
