March 11, 2025
Yeah, so remember those energy tariffs that Ontario's Premier launched on a trio of U.S. states? Well, Doug Ford is now withdrawing them. It's all part of a compromise with America's biggest voice, who planned to slap Canada with 50 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum if they weren't dialed back.
