Ontario Premier Doug Ford wasted no time in addressing the impending threat of 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods by U.S. president-elect Donald Trump. Ford demanded that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau meet with the nation’s premiers to find a solution before Trudeau steps down as leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. Ford emphasized that prorogation does not mean vacation for Trudeau, but rather a time to continue moving forward and addressing critical issues facing the country.
When asked about the possibility of calling an early provincial election in the spring, Ford redirected the focus to stopping the tariffs and coming to an agreement with the U.S. Ford’s urgency in demanding action from Trudeau highlights the seriousness of the situation and the potential impact on Canada’s economy. As tensions rise with the incoming U.S. administration, Ford’s call for collaboration and swift action underscores the need for a united front to protect Canada’s interests.
