Ford provides limited insight on potential support plan
During a recent press conference, Ontario Premier Doug Ford was questioned about how he plans to assist individuals impacted by tariffs, drawing comparisons to the Canada Emergency Response Benefit utilized during the COVID-19 crisis.
While addressing the inquiry, Ford refrained from divulging specific details.
He stated, “We’ll develop a plan once we have a clearer picture of the tariffs that are imposed on us.”
Emphasizing his preference for collaboration with the United States, Ford expressed concerns that the manufacturing sector in Ontario is at risk of being targeted by President Trump’s trade policies.
“It seems like we are the primary focus of these tariffs,” Ford remarked.
