Ontario to Slap Export Tax on Electricity to U.S.

I hope provinces extend this to all critical exports, including potash, nickle, uranium and oil.

The US deserves to suffer for this trade war. You guys elected this dictator from Temu, you should bleed as much as he's going to make Canada bleed.

Potash, Uranium & Oil are from Saskatchewan & Alberta. Those provinces won't put on an export tax because that would be "unfair" to those two deeply conservative provinces. There are a lot of MAGA supporters in those two provinces.

Tariffs are put on at the federal level, not the provincial level, but your misunderstanding is very common.

The US themselves are tariffing potash at 25% from Canada coming into the US.

In Canada

> Section 91(2) of the Constitution Act, 1867 gives Parliament exclusive jurisdiction over “the regulation of trade and commerce.”

However Trudeau has repeatedly emphasized working closely with the Premiers to ensure that tariffs aren't discriminatory against some provinces and favouring others. It seems to imply that despite his legal power, the federal government would not impose those tariffs as it would come at the cost of Canadian unity.
