Summary
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced he is canceling a $100M contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink and banning U.S. firms from provincial contracts in retaliation for Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.
Ford warned that American companies could lose “tens of billions” in revenues.
Canada and Mexico have imposed counter-tariffs, while Ontario also plans to remove American liquor brands from stores.
Trump responded by suggesting Canada should become the U.S.’s 51st state to avoid tariffs, arguing Canada’s trade surplus makes it economically dependent on the U.S.
I’m not a fan of Ford, but a broken clock…
oh shit is this the same braindead guy from not just bikes?
Yeah, he’s an absolute piece of shit and it’s really weird to see him on the right side of this one.
Ford honestly scares me, because he’s the kind of right wing asshole who knows how to pick his battles. He’s smart enough to see a losing cause and stay the fuck away from it. He’ll probably be prime minister some day, especially if PP manages to flame out at the next election.
That’s your answer.
Oh, yeah, I said it was weird, I didn’t say I had any questions about it. I know damn well why he’s doing this.
One in the same!
The expression is “one and the same”.
And his brother was the one that was addicted to crack!
Wait, really? I thought he was addicted to crack.
No that was Rob and he’s dead
All the insane suburban Toronto politicians can be addicted to crack… just a little, as a treat.
“One up the bum, no harm done.”
Edit; shit, wrong topic.
The better Ford died.
I’m not lying. Watch footage of him. He was a crackhead and an alcoholic but you could tell he cared about the people he cared about. DoFo is a mob shill.
Tbf I’m in MB and didn’t agree with either of them haha, I wasn’t close enough to really see what Rob did for the city so take my opinion with a grain of salt
Yep
I still don’t understand why there is a Ford in power. Do people not remember his brother?
Forget his brother, the shit Dougie has done since getting in is so much worse. But Ontario voters are fucking morons.
More accurate.
