Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned that the province could cut electricity exports to the U.S., affecting 1.5 million homes and businesses, in response to President Trump's new 50% tariff on Canadian goods. Ford said 'everything is on the table' and vowed to block exports of critical minerals, while Trump mocked him on Truth Social. Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre urged Parliament to reconvene to address the trade collapse and its impact on families.
