Speaking Monday at a mining convention in downtown Toronto, Ontario Premier Doug Ford doubled down on threats to cut electricity exports to U.S. border states if the tariffs go through.
Power sector is certain to be saved from bankruptcy if somehow that was threatened. Sure, increasing export tariffs to 100% or 200% is a better response than cutting them off.
Overall export tariffs is the best option to raise revenue without adding to inflation for Canadians.
