Ontario Premier, mayors prepare for upcoming ‘tariff war’

Premier Doug Ford says the upcoming tariff war is going to be a matter of survival for provinces like Ontario. Ford and other leaders from the region are vowing to “take the fight to the U.S.” to protect the economy and jobs in the province and the country. The trade war could be so damaging to Canadians and Americans that there was a lot of skepticism about whether Trump would actually do it. Ford says Donald Trump doesn’t know what he’s getting into with this tariff fight and, “to the president, I’m a different type of cat – I’m not going to roll over and get annihilated.” “I’ll fight right to the death, not that there’s going to be any deaths, but the economy – he has no idea, he has absolutely no idea,” he said.
