No compromise on tariffs, Ontario Premier Doug Ford says

Ontario Premier Doug Ford expressed concern over a one-month tariff exemption for U.S. Automakers, suggesting it could be a strategy to relocate jobs to the U.S. During a news conference on Wednesday.
Ford emphasized that Ontario will not compromise on tariff responses, insisting on zero tariffs as the only acceptable outcome.
The tariffs are expected to significantly impact Ontario's auto and steel industries, which employ over 100,000 people, and could raise inflation for consumers.
Ford warned of possible energy surcharges and threatened to cut off electricity to U.S. States if tariffs continue, emphasizing his resolve in the trade conflict.
