Assertion by Doug Ford in response to President Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.
“I’m extraordinarily disillusioned that President Trump has chosen to stroll away from a buying and selling relationship that for many years has made life higher for tens of millions of staff on either side of the border.
I want we weren’t right here. I want Ontario and Canada have been working along with our American associates and allies to make our two nations the richest, most profitable, most secure, most safe on the planet. As a substitute, President Trump has chosen to maneuver ahead with tariffs that can solely damage America and make People poorer. Canada now has no selection however to hit again and hit again exhausting.
As Premier of Ontario, the federal authorities has my full help for a robust and forceful response that matches U.S. tariffs greenback for greenback. Canada has a lot of what America wants: high-grade nickel and different crucial minerals, vitality and electrical energy, uranium, potash, aluminum. We have to maximize our factors of leverage and use them to most impact. The federal authorities must additionally pursue each authorized path to problem these unfair, unjustified and unlawful tariffs.
The approaching days and weeks can be extremely troublesome. Trump’s tariffs will devastate our economic system. They’ll put 450,000 jobs in danger throughout the province. Each sector and area will really feel the impression.
With a robust, steady, four-year mandate that outlives and outlasts the Trump administration, I’ll do no matter it takes to guard Ontario, our staff, companies and communities. I’ll make investments tens of billions to retrain staff for brand new alternatives, retool corporations for brand new clients, reshore provide chains and rebuild roads and highways to create new jobs. I’ll make robust decisions to make Ontario’s economic system essentially the most aggressive place to take a position, create jobs and do enterprise.
None of us need to be right here, however Canada and Ontario have confronted down this type of problem earlier than. Every time, we’ve emerged stronger, extra united, extra decided than ever. Canada and Ontario will as soon as once more reply the decision.
Collectively, we’ll meet this second. We’ll stand united. We’ll stand sturdy.”
