president-elect Donald Trump's threat to levy a 25 per cent import tax on all Canadian goods, and Ontario Premier Doug Ford threatened to withhold the province's energy, which it exports to five states.

Ford told reporters in Toronto on Wednesday that the federal government is preparing retaliatory tariffs. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said the government shared details of its border plan with the premiers, who offered to contribute provincial resources to the effort. Yukon Premier Ranj Pillai said in an interview he was"personally was very impressed by what Canada put on the table in a response to border security and the illicit trade of fentanyl."
