Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford is escalating tensions with the U.S., threatening to cut off electricity exports as retaliation for Trump’s new 50% auto tariffs set for January. Ford warns that Canada could also restrict critical minerals, signaling no holds barred in protecting Canadian industries. He accuses Trump of launching an economic war on a close ally and even invokes Reagan to criticize the move. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Mark Carney vows dollar-for-dollar retaliation targeting U.S. steel, dairy, and equipment, starting September 8th. Despite the rift, Ford insists talks must continue—even as thousands of Ontario auto jobs hang in the balance.
