The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that Ontario Premier Doug Ford told Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday that he would not comply with requests to have provinces end their bans on U.S. alcohol and drop retaliatory "Buy Canadian" procurement rules. A four-bylined item led by Adrian Morrow says the sticking point for Mr. Ford was that the terms on steel and cars were too punitive. On autos, the U.S. would have reduced tariffs from 25 per cent to 15 per cent and exempted the value of American content, but it refused to also exempt Canadian content. On steel, the tariff would have been cut from 50 per cent to 25 per cent for the first four million tonnes exported per year, while anything above that would have remained at the higher tariff. In his post on Truth Social on Monday, President Donald Trump wrote: "Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years. Not sustainable, and NOT ANYMORE!" The Ontario Premier, for his part, said on talk radio that the President can "kiss my ass" and suggested Canada should cut off the U.S.'s supplies of oil, gas, electricity, potash and uranium. The President fired back with a threat to cut off Canadian energy that flows through the United States.
