Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Doug Ford says he will spend $22 billion to build infrastructure as part of a stimulus package in the face of a possible trade war with the United States. The package will go forward regardless of U.S. President Donald Trump imposing 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.

But Ford warned Saturday of difficult times ahead should U.S. President Donald Trump make good on his vow to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods.

The package would go forward regardless of U.S. President Donald Trump's threat to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods, which he says will be imposed tomorrow.
