In response to potential U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut electricity exports to several American states, implement energy surcharges, and cancel a deal with Starlink. Further retaliatory measures include removing American alcohol from LCBO shelves and encouraging the sourcing of Canadian-made goods, potentially through legislation mandating their prominent display in retail stores. Ford also pledged to stockpile nickel and halt its export to the U.S., emphasizing a strong response to protect Ontario industries. The province’s strategy, costing approximately $40 billion, aims to support businesses and workers affected by the potential trade war.
