Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced a 25% increase in electricity tariffs for Minnesota, New York, and Michigan due to U.S. Tariffs on Canadian exports.
Ford canceled a $100-million expansion plan with Starlink, a division of SpaceX, in response to U.S. Tariffs.

Both Ford and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insist on not backing down until all tariffs are removed.
