Ford to cut off energy to the states in wake of U.S. tariffs

Newly re-elected Ontario Premier Doug Ford reaffirmed his stance against potential U.S. tariffs, threatening to cut electricity exports to states like New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. Ford also proposed a surcharge on energy exports, scrapping a $100-million Starlink deal, and removing American liquor from LCBO shelves if Trump follows through with tariff threats. He urged consumers and businesses to prioritize Ontario-made goods and hinted at legislation to enforce this. Additionally, Ford warned of halting nickel shipments to the U.S., which could disrupt manufacturing.

The Progressive Conservatives’ trade war strategy was a key focus of their $189-million election campaign, which resulted in an 80-seat majority—only a slight gain from before. Ford defended the election’s cost, emphasizing his government’s economic support plans and claiming historic political achievements.
