<h1>Ontario Raises Electricity Export Tax by 25% Amid Trade Tensions with US, Quebec May Follow Suit</h1> Ontario's premier announced a 25% tax increase on electricity exports to the US in response to President Trump's trade war. The surcharge affects 1.5 million Americans in Minnesota, New York, and Michigan and aims to generate significant revenue for Ontario. Despite a temporary reprieve from Trump, Ontario's tariff remains, with Quebec considering similar measures. The trade war, initiated by US tariffs on major trading partners, has prompted retaliatory actions from Canada, Mexico, and China. Ontario's premier criticized Trump's policies, urging Alberta to impose an export tax on oil, highlighting Canada's significant role in US energy supply.
