Ford pledges Ontario budget with infrastructure spending, not cuts, to battle U.S. tariffs

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says the budget his government is unveiling on Thursday will boost spending on infrastructure to stimulate the economy in the face of U.S. tariffs, instead of cutting expenses to balance the books.His Finance Minister, Peter Bethlenfalvy, will reveal the state of the province’s finances for the first time since the winter election campaign that saw the Progressive Conservatives pledge billions in economic relief for businesses affected by the tariffs.
