Mayor Olivia Chow says that she’ll lead a ‘city-wide push’ to keep municipal money in Canada

Speaking at a news conference Monday, Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow says she'll lead a "city-wide push to put our locally-made products and services first."

Chow says she's instructed the city manager to determine whether Toronto should end any contracts, as Ontario opted to do with Starlink, or follow in the province's footsteps and ban U.S. companies from future government contracts.

"The City of Toronto buys a lot of goods. We do have a $78-billion budget," said Chow, who will meet with Toronto's city manager on Tuesday to go over what she calls a "Toronto Action Plan" for dealing with the tariffs.

"Every aspect of how this city operates matters," she said. "It matters where we buy."
