Ontario Faces Job Crisis Amid Trump's Proposed Tariffs

 

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has issued a stark warning about the potential impact of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's proposed tariffs on Canadian goods. Ford estimates that the 25% tariffs could result in the loss of up to 500,000 jobs in Ontario.

Ford has called for stronger and more visible action from the federal government to address this looming threat. He emphasized the need for a solid plan to secure the border and ensure economic stability.
