Following Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s suggestion that the province might cut off energy exports to the U.S. in response to 25 percent tariffs, the premiers of Alberta, Quebec, and Newfoundland have said they will not take the same approach.
During a Nov. 11 press conference, Ford said Ontario was contemplating restricting electricity exports to the U.S. states of Michigan, New York, and Minnesota if President-elect Donald Trump were to impose tariffs on all Canadian products. “We’re going to put our list together, and I’m sure the other provinces will as well, but we will go to the full extent, depending on how far this goes,” Ford said.
