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.
