#Canada’s initial $30B Canadian (US$21B) worth of retaliatory #tariffs have been applied on items like American orange juice, peanut butter, coffee, appliances, footwear, cosmetics, motorcycles & certain pulp & paper products.

#Ontario Premier #DougFord, …also said that, starting on Monday, the province will charge 25% more for #electricity shipped to 1.5M Americans in response to #Trump’s tariffs. Ontario provides electricity to #Minnesota, #NY & #Michigan.

Ontario, Canada’s most populous province just announced:

- removal of all American alcohol from store shelves, meaning all Ontario businesses will not be able to buy or sell American wine, beer, or liquor (we’re their largest importer at $1b/yr)

- banned US companies from bidding on contracts

- cancelled huge Starlink contract

- ending nickel exports (look up what that means)

- next step will be a 25% tax on energy sales to the US.
