Part 2/7:
Premier Ford has made clear that Ontario will not tolerate the uncertainty created by the Trump administration's erratic tariff policies. He expressed his resolve, stating, "Until these tariffs are off the table... Ontario will not relent." The surcharges will reportedly hit 1.5 million American homes and businesses in states like Minnesota, Michigan, and New York, costing families up to $400,000 each day and raising utility bills by around $100 per month.
Ford's motivations are wrapped in frustration over what he perceives as a chaotic and unjust trade climate initiated by Trump, claiming that American families are suffering as a result. He noted, "This is not the American people who started this trade war; it's one person who's responsible."
