Episode Details

Canada and the U.S. are locked in a fiery trade war, with Ontario Premier Doug Ford trading barbs with President Trump—until now. Ford’s calling for cooler heads as both sides escalate tariffs: the U.S. slapped 50% duties on Canadian goods, Canada hit back with its own counter-tariffs, and Trump threatened to double auto tariffs. Ford, whose province is hit hard by the fallout, has been outspoken—even pulling U.S. liquor from shelves. While Canada just doubled tariffs on steel, aluminum, milk, furniture, and electronics, Ford’s eyeing electricity surcharges instead of full-blown cuts. He even admits to a past 25% electricity surcharge that he quickly reversed to keep talks alive. Now, he’s signaling a shift toward more targeted, less inflammatory moves—though the battle isn’t over.
