Summary
Ontario will impose a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to New York, Michigan, and Minnesota starting Monday in retaliation for Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods.
Premier Doug Ford warned U.S. governors and vowed to maintain the surcharge until all tariffs are lifted.
Canada has already imposed $30 billion in retaliatory tariffs, with more planned.
Ford also threatened to cut power to the states by April and banned U.S. firms from bidding on Ontario contracts. A $100M SpaceX deal for rural internet was also scrapped in response.
I’m not so sure about Poilievre. Imo he’ll take a more moderate stance against MAGA if any at all. He’s changed his stance recently, similar to Ford, but it felt a bit later and a bit weaker.
Yeah Ford is a raging asshole so he’s loud and combative. PP genuinely just seems like a little bitch puppet so even if he turns on MAGA, I don’t think it will be as loud as this.
