Ontario Premier Doug Ford was asked about the latest in trade negotiations with the U.S. on Wednesday. “I’m 100 per cent supportive of the prime minister and the federal government,” Ford said adding that a “tariff on Canada is going to be a tax on Americans. So far, this is what’s happened.” Last Friday, after the U.S.-imposed target date for a trade deal between Canada and the U.S. expired, U.S. President Donald Trump increased the tariffs on Canadian goods from 25 per cent to 35 per cent.
