From Global News.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is set to move forward with a tax on electricity sent to several U.S. states as Canada’s trade war escalates.

Ford is expected to officially confirm the 25 per cent tax on Monday, which will be enacted on Tuesday, even after the U.S. put a temporary tariff reprieve in place on many products until April 2.

The move is one Ford and his team have publicly weighed since before U.S. President Donald Trump was sworn in — threatening to escalate further and cut power to 1.5 million U.S. homes and businesses if the economic battle continues.

That threat, first suggested in early December, comes after Trump followed through on his promise and slapped 25 per cent tariffs on the vast majority of Canadian imports on Tuesday, sparking a trade war between the two neighbouring countries.
On Thursday, the White House confirmed tariffs on many Mexican and some Canadian goods would be paused until April 2.
