Ford says U.S. tariffs could put 500,000 Ontario jobs at risk

What could tariffs mean for Ontario?

Ford said he’s been speaking with various government ministries to get a handle on what damage U.S. tariffs could do to the province’s labour market.

The grim news: it could cost as many as 500,000 jobs, according to Ford.

Ford has said he may need a fresh mandate from the public – see, an election – in order to spend billions of tax dollars to support various sectors affected by potential tariffs.

Ford said he thinks Trump will “slow roll” the tariffs, but still believes they’re coming.
