Toronto will ban U.S. companies bidding on city contracts in response to Trump’s tariffs, Mayor Olivia Chow says
Mayor Olivia Chow says she plans to ban U.S. companies from bidding on contracts with the City of Toronto.
At a press conference Thursday morning to talk about the procurement of new TTC streetcars, Chow provided an update on her administration’s response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s imposition of tariffs on Canadian goods.
She confirmed that the city will award all contracts valued at less than $353,000 to Canadian companies exclusively. She also promised to present a motion to her executive committee “barring any U.S. companies from future Toronto contracts.”
