Summary
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to 1.5 million Americans in Minnesota, New York, and Michigan, effective Monday, in response to Trump’s trade war.
The measure will generate CA$300,000-400,000 daily to support Ontario workers and businesses, adding about CA$100 monthly to affected American bills.
Ford threatened further increases or complete shutoff if the US escalates, despite Trump’s one-month tariff reprieve.
This action supplements Canada’s CA$30 billion in federal retaliatory tariffs on various American products.
Hopefully it gets to that point. More than half of the guns that enter Mexico and Canada are from the US. It’s about time America got called out for its cultural shortcoming of valuing gun rights more than its children.
