Ontario Premier Doug Ford made it clear that he was not going to stand idly by while U.S. president-elect Donald Trump threatened to impose tariffs on Canadian goods. In response to Trump’s “insulting” remarks, Ford asserted that “Canada is no Mexico” and emphasized the importance of the trading relationship between Canada and the United States. The proposed 25 per cent tariff would have a significant impact on Ontario’s economy, and Ford was quick to express his strong opposition to such measures.
Ford’s forceful response to Trump’s tariff threat underscores the seriousness of the situation for Canadian businesses and workers. The Premier’s statement serves as a reminder that Canada will not be bullied into accepting unfair trade practices. Ford’s defense of Canada’s interests is commendable, and his determination to protect the country’s economy is evident in his strong words against the proposed tariffs.
As the situation continues to unfold, it is clear that Ford is not willing to back down in the face of adversity. His resolute stance sends a message that Canada will not be taken advantage of, and that the country will fight to protect its economic interests. With Ford leading the charge, Ontario and Canada are poised to stand firm against any attempts to undermine their trade relationships with the United States.
