Ontario slapping 25% surcharge on U.S.-bound electricity Monday, Ford says

Province provides electricity to New York, Michigan and Minnesota

Ontario will charge 25 per cent more for electricity shipped to 1.5 million Americans starting Monday in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, Premier Doug Ford said Thursday.

The province provides electricity to Minnesota, New York and Michigan. Earlier this week, Ford warned the governors of those states about the coming changes.

“You touch the stove once, you get burned, you don’t touch that stove again,” Ford said. “We’re going to make sure that we follow through with what we said we were going to do.”
