In response to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to Minnesota, Michigan, and New York, impacting 1.5 million American customers. This retaliatory measure, effective Monday, follows warnings to the affected states’ governors and reflects Ontario’s firm stance against the tariffs. Premier Ford expressed regret for the surcharge but emphasized the need for the U.S. to remove all tariffs and renegotiate the USMCA. He further highlighted the significant economic uncertainty and job losses resulting from the trade dispute.
