Ontario Premier Doug Ford announces a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to Michigan, Minnesota, and New York in retaliation for U.S.-imposed tariffs on Canadian goods. The measure, impacting 1.5 million homes and businesses, is expected to generate $300,000 to $400,000 per day for Ontario. Ford warns of a complete electricity cutoff if trade tensions escalate. Energy Minister Stephen Lecce joins the news conference at Queen’s Park to discuss the policy’s implications.
