Ontario officials estimate that U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s proposed tariffs on Canadian goods could cost up to half a million jobs, Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday as he called for stronger and more visible action from the federal government.
The actual number of Ontario jobs affected by the 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods that Trump has signalled are coming will depend on what sectors are targeted, Ford said, but the ministries have told him it could be between 450,000 to 500,000.
