Sticking to his push for retaliatory tariffs against the United States, Premier Doug Ford insists he’s not in a spat with Prime Minister Mark Carney for scrapping some Canadian levies in hopes of reaching a trade deal.

“We have to fight fire with fire, but we’ll see how the prime minister makes out,” he added. “I believe in being firm.”
Ford emphasized Ontario’s ban on the sale of American wine, beer and spirits like Kentucky bourbon will continue “until they cut the tariffs or we make a deal with them.”
