Things are about to get very interesting.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has announced that three U.S. states—Michigan, New York, and Minnesota—will soon face tariffs on electricity coming from Ontario. This decision comes after weeks of fluctuating trade policies and sharp remarks from President Trump, who has criticized Canada’s role in North American trade.

“I’ve always had a strong relationship with Americans—20 years of my life have been spent working alongside them. But enough is enough. We’re putting a 25 percent tariff on electricity exports to Michigan, New York, and Minnesota,” Ford declared in an interview on Fox Business Network’s The Claman Countdown.

Ford’s move to implement new tariffs starting Monday is a direct response to President Trump’s economic measures, which he claims are causing chaos in trade relations.

“It’s a sad situation. It’s a total mess,” Ford said. “The President ran on promises of lowering costs, cutting inflation, and creating jobs. But instead, we’re seeing the complete opposite.”

Ford warned that the tariffs would hurt families on both sides of the border. “People in both the U.S. and Canada are already feeling the pressure, with jobs at risk and inflation rising,” he added.

The Premier emphasized that the U.S. economy is heading in the wrong direction. “The market is taking a dive faster than a bobsled, and this is unacceptable,” Ford stated. “The situation he’s created isn’t just bad for American families—it’s bad for Canadians and for people all over the world. It’s only going to get worse.”

Trump’s recent tariffs, which initially hit Canadian and Mexican imports with a 25 percent tax, have led both countries to threaten retaliatory tariffs. Canada’s move to impose tariffs on U.S. electricity could mark the beginning of a broader trade conflict between the two nations. The economic impact on businesses and consumers is expected to be significant, with higher costs for production and ultimately, higher prices for everyday goods.
