    That is definitely not what I’m hearing. More recent news specifically states that Trump’s tariffs have come into effect, and only Ford’s pathetic backtracking has happened.

    Our federal government went forward with massive reciprocal tariffs, yet our provincial government backed off his surcharge with the promise of having “talks” about it.

    I’m ashamed to be an Ontarian.

      I heard on the radio this morning that the original tarrifs are in effect. Trump was going to add even more tarrifs to steel and aluminium but decided not to once Ford backed down from the electricity surcharge. My understanding was the surcharge was supposed to be a response to the tarrifs and were to remain in place until all the new tarrifs were dropped.
