TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford is lashing out at U.S. President Donald Trump over his administration’s new aluminum tariffs.
Trump announced Thursday that he would be reimposing a 10 per cent tariff on aluminum imported from Canada, saying the step was necessary to defend the U.S. aluminum industry.
Ford says he’s disappointed in the president for potentially compromising a historically strong trade relationship.
He notes Trump’s decision also comes in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when industries around the world are struggling with ongoing economic fallout.
In response, the premier is urging Ontario residents to “hit ’em where it hurts,” describing the province and its consumer base as an economic powerhouse.
He says Ontario manufacturers should more aggressively label their goods as “made in Ontario” to help consumers buy local products.
Does anymore know if there is a list of Canadian food products somewhere online?
Kicking Horse Coffee, Quaker Oat Meal, Frenches Ketchup, Nestle chocolates, are some of the items I already buy

I bet if they had a made in canada section our products would sell like crazy. Putting it beside much cheaper American products doesnt even give it a chance.
I buy what ever cost less
