Premier Christine Fréchette said Monday that Quebec will not be intimidated by threats from U.S. President Donald Trump and has not ruled out cutting electricity exports as a reprisal against tariff threats.
“We don’t give in to threats. We will respond by standing firm right to the end.”Asked if Quebec would consider a similar measure to one envisioned by Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who said Monday his province could impose an export tariff on electricity bound for the U.S. or stop sending power across the border altogether, Fréchette said: “For the moment, I don’t want to exclude anything in terms of measures.”
