Ontario raises 25% tax on electricity exports to US over Trump trade war

Business Standard

Ontario's premier, the leader of Canada's most populous province, announced that effective Monday it is charging 25% more for electricity to 1.5 million Americans in response to US President Donald Trump's trade war. Ontario provides electricity to Minnesota, New York and Michigan. I will not hesitate to increase this charge. If the United State escalates, I will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said at a news conference in Toronto. "Believe me when I say I do not want to do this. I feel terrible for the American people who didn't start this trade war. It's one person who is responsible, it's President Trump. Ford said Ontario's tariff would remain in place despite the one-month reprieve from Trump, noting a one-month pause means nothing but more uncertainty. Quebec is also considering taking similar measures with electricity exports to the US. Ford's office said the new market rules require any generator selling electricity to the US

Verstappen aims for fifth straight title, Hamilton looks for 8th in F1 2025

Business Standard

Lando Norris will have to defy plenty of history to win the Formula 1 title this year. There's his friend-turned-rival Max Verstappen's bid for a fifth title in a row. Just like the only driver to achieve that feat, Michael Schumacher, Verstappen is a hard racer who isn't afraid to bend the rules as Norris knows from bitter experience. Then there's Lewis Hamilton, the seven-time champion going for a record eighth title in 2025. It's his first season with Ferrari, which is itching to end a wait for a drivers' title going back to 2007. Norris is the under-pressure favourite ======================= Norris is widely considered the favorite after he and McLaren had a strong second half of 2024 though not strong enough to beat Verstappen but it could be the closest season in years. McLaren seemed competitive in preseason testing last month but Norris has to watch out not only for Verstappen and Hamilton, but also for his own teammate Oscar Piastri, Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Merc
