Ontario Premier Doug Ford is unveiling more details about his “Fortress Am-Can” plan to bolster the relationship between the U.S. and Canada in the face of tariff threats by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Fortress Am-Can would be a true partnership, one that respects each country as proudly independent with alignment on shared priorities; free, fair, balanced, trade; accelerated resource development; stronger border security and energy security to power economic growth on both sides of our border,” Ford said in a presentation to the Mississauga Board of Trade Thursday.
He said Thursday his plan would include a call to do away with the federal digital services tax and the federal carbon tax; “free and fair trade” in the automotive manufacturing sector with the goal of co-producing a million more vehicles by 2028; increasing steel trade between Canada and the U.S.
Ford met Wednesday with the other premiers along with Trudeau to discuss the tariff threats and Canada’s response. Asked directly if he will be seeking a mandate in order to deal with the tariffs, Ford said “we really do have to see what happens” and said it will depend on whether Trump immediately brings them into force after taking office.
