Ontario’s premier, the leader of Canada’s most populous province, is now charging 25% more for electricity shipped to 1.5 million Americans.

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.

    The world is not responsible for fixing US politics.

    The goal is not to influence red vs blue but to show both our people and yours that we can fight back.

    Trump is President in New York just as much as he is President in Kentucky. And as long as New York has not seceded, that will not change, and even if it did, it’s not a free ticket to even having trade relations with the rest of the world.
