Ontario has placed a surcharge of 25 per cent on electricity exported to the United States as of Monday, and the government says it could raise that amount even higher in response to further American escalation.
Premier Doug Ford has announced the price increase on the electricity the province sends to 1.5 million homes in three U.S. states as one of Ontario's retaliatory measures against tariffs imposed on Canadian goods by President Donald Trump.
"Believe me when I say I do not want to do this," Ford said Monday at a press conference.
