OTTAWA — The premier of Canada’s largest province is threatening to cut energy exports to the United States in response to President-elect Donald Trump’s threats of 25 percent tariffs.
Doug Ford issued the warning after a meeting of Canada’s provincial premiers that was hosted by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Parliament Hill on Wednesday.
“We will go to the extent of cutting off their energy — going down to Michigan, going down to New York State and over to Wisconsin. I don’t want this to happen, but my No. 1 job is to protect Ontarians and Canadians as a whole,” Ford said after the meeting.

“We need to be ready. We need to be ready to fight. This fight is coming 100 percent on Jan. 20th or Jan. 21.”
