Canada is preparing for a trade war with the U.S. after talks collapsed Friday, with both nations threatening tariffs up to 50 percent on goods and services. Ontario Premier Doug Ford escalated rhetoric, telling Trump to "kiss my ass" and vowing to cut electricity exports to 1.5 million American homes if the conflict continues. Trump responded on Truth Social, mocking Ford's late brother. Ford dismissed concerns about his tone, saying Canadians "don't listen to dictators." Northern U.S. states rely heavily on Canadian power, with Vermont importing over 50 percent of its electricity.
