Ford urging Buy Ontario approach as tariffs loom, says he may legislate it

Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut off electricity exports from Ontario to certain U.S. States if tariffs are imposed, stating, "If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do anything – including cutting off their energy – with a smile on my face".
Ford announced plans for 'Buy Ontario' legislation to promote local procurement and has previously outlined potential retaliatory measures against the U.S., stating, "I'm asking politely until I implement it...we need to see a Canadian flag on that price".
In response to the potential tariffs, Ford's government is considering a surcharge on energy sold to the U.S..
The discussion comes as U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, prompting Ford to call for public support for Ontario-made products, saying he loves seeing people check labels before buying.
