Ontario’s Doug Ford says Canada could ‘dismantle’ US in tariff fight

What was said

"we are an energy powerhouse and we could dismantle the US if we wanted to if we all work together no matter if it's the electricity and I'm not speaking for the other provinces. I'm going to be very clear. The pod ash, the oil, we're their number one customer in the world."

Ontario premier Doug Ford argues Canada should retaliate strongly if US tariffs take effect, claiming Canada’s role as a major supplier of energy and commodities gives it leverage. In the same exchange, Ford says he understands the tariff impact could be “28 billion across the country” and warns Ontario would bear much of the hit.
