Appears that Ford's threats with electricity got their attention.

Quote:
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Premier Doug Ford on Tuesday for a “tough and aggressive” conversation after the Ontario government announced its plan to slap a 25 per cent export tax on the electricity it supplies to three U.S. states, CTV News has learned.

Sources said Lutnick asked Ford to back off his retaliatory tariffs, but the Ontario premier refused so long as U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs remain in effect.

We have the biggest hammer of all the Provinces. Trump's already shown his cards that it's a weakness with only 10% tarrifs instead of 25%.
Do you cut off the taps today? No. But it has to be on the table and it has to be a legitimate threat.
