Ontario’s premier, the leader of Canada’s most populous province, announced that effective Monday his province is charging 25% more for electricity to 1.5 million Americans in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.
Ontario provides electricity to Minnesota, New York and Michigan.
“President Trump’s tariffs are a disaster for the U.S. economy. They’re making life more expensive for American families and businesses,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a statement. “Until the threat of tariffs is gone for good, Ontario won’t back down. We’ll stand strong, use every tool in our toolkit and do whatever it takes to protect Ontario.”
Ford has said Ontario’s tariff would remain in place despite the one-month reprieve from Trump, noting a one month pause means nothing but more uncertainty.

As a Michigander I’d be upset if my state didn’t vote for Donald Trump. We deserve this.
What’s good for the goose is good for the 'gander
My state didn’t vote for Trump and I support Canada in this.
I just hope the redcap traitor filth suffers disproportionately more.
So where’s Quebec in this? I would have figured they’d be trying to outdo Ontario in the FuckUS movement.
I have family in MI that voted for the orange turd…just waiting for this to turn into an LAMF moment for them.
Art of the Deal
Fuck yeah. Feel sorry for the blue guys but MI went red and I couldn’t give a flying fuck about the fate of the republican traitor filth. Am American, but we all have to face the fucking consequences and find the motivation to change shit, by any means necessary.
