U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian goods upon his inauguration next week. Ontario Premier Doug Ford warns of potential job losses, urging federal government action. Ford advocates for a stronger energy partnership with the U.S. and emphasizes the need for a unified Canadian response.
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods when he comes back into office next week.
All 13 premiers are set to meet Wednesday with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and Ford said that with inauguration day happening in less than a week, a plan for how to respond to the tariffs should have already been finalized. "We need the federal government to step up with a solid plan for securing our border, and to make sure they get their two per cent NATO commitment," Ford said."We heard a number thrown out there, $1.3 billion for our border protection. I have yet to see anything, nothing at all," Ford said, adding that federal Public Safety Minister David McGuinty "needs to come out of hiding" and publicly lay out Ottawa's plan.
"We will begin charging those that make money off of us with Trade, and they will start paying, FINALLY, their fair share. January 20, 2025, will be the birth date of the External Revenue Service. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" Trump said in the post.
