In response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has taken a defiant stance. Ford has pledged to retaliate by removing American alcohol from store shelves in Ontario, emphasizing that Canada will not be divided by Trump’s actions.
Ford accused Trump of attempting to divide the people with his tactics, expressing determination to stand united with Canadians against the looming tariffs. Trump’s announcement of the tariffs, set to take effect on Saturday, has raised concerns about the future of the trade agreement negotiated during his first term.
The escalating tensions between the U.S. and its neighbors have sparked apprehension about the potential impact on the economy and trade relations. With both sides taking a firm stance, the situation remains uncertain as Canada and Mexico brace for the repercussions of Trump’s actions.
As the threat of tariffs looms, Ford’s defiance serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and solidarity in the face of adversity. The ongoing dispute highlights the challenges of navigating international relations and trade agreements in a volatile political climate. Despite the uncertainty ahead, Ford remains resolute in his commitment to protecting Canadian interests and standing strong against attempts to divide the nation.

Trudeau and the liberals have been divding Canadains since he became PM!
This is on Trudeau and the liberals maybe inside of calling Trump names and telling the Americans they choose the wroug person to be president they should have shut their mouths and looked for solutions!!
Trump publicly stated he has "intents" to eliminate taxation of USA citizens. Federal expenditures to be financed through tarriffs.
Our PM has "intents" to step down.
I just don't which vision is better. Guess it depends which side of the line your on…
Devide and conquer
All he can do is whine about Trump and not talk about solutions.
this is how you can tell he sucks
YES FORD USE EVERYTHING IN YOUR TOOL BOX TO FIGHT THIS BULLY, TELL HIM HIS 35,000,000,000,000 IS HIS PROBLEM NOT OURS HE CAN THANK BIDEN AND OBAMA FOR THAT.
Yes so happy love Trump ❤❤
Liberals and fake conservatives like you have divided us, Alberta strong!
Big talker. I bet he laughed about that Fentanyl coming across the Canada border that he could have worked to stop.
Alberta be like bye Felicia!
Isn’t Ford the guy that was always high on cocaine?
Ford is dividing us by calling an election. This is a time when we need to roll up our sleeves and FOCUS on what action(s) we will take – NOT follow an election campaign!
Poor timing (imho)
Ford is a loser Liberal who backed Trudeau instead of tax payers.
I can see fear in Douggie's eyes.
This is not about Trump , this about a border that needs to be sealed because of out of control migration , a drug crisis that is decimating a generation. He is forcing Trudeau to do what he should have done anyway. I am not falling for yet again another deflection from destructive , punitive policies that have destroyed this country. Ford is a fake conservative , another puppet to add to the collection. Calling an election when Ontarian’s are on their knees reminds me of Trudeau calling an election in the middle of a pandemic. They are only about their selfish desire to hang onto power, don’t fall for it.
division won;t happen-WE ARE CANADIANS
what have you done so far to make lives of Ontarians better? did you fix the hwy ? NO
Trump doesn't need to divide an already divided nation.
He's bluffing jughead
Trade war,
Merger pls, I’m rlly tired of Canada. And yes I will move, once the merger happens and I would be able to go anywhere in NA freely
The country actually needs these tariffs. Not that I agree with them, but it's the only thing that will enact change in government. Otherwise it will just be status quo. Radical actions are met by radical reactions. This country needs that.
We need to find new countries to do business with
He’s got a 10% tariff on China and 25% on us. That tells you it’s not about anything other than making us a state. lol
This is not a trade war it's a penalty for being soft on crime and drugs. Trump says it's in addition to all normal tariffs to come later this year.
Why did we send 20 billion to Ukraine and tell Trump we only had 1.4 billion to secure the border?
Trump said if we counter he'll hit us even harder. Brace yourselves… we need a new PM that locks down our border.
We're already divided. Most people want an election and the minority is not letting us have our election – we were already extremely divided and only an election will change that.
Ford another liberal made in China just like the prompt he had stitched inside his hat.
Welcome to communism my fellow Canadians. Now we will suffer because we voted Liberal/NDP. We're all poorer tomorrow morning because we're moving towards socialism.
unfortunately, calling an election will be his downfall.
Ford reminds me of Trump. A big bully with only slogans as he steals our tax dollars
Turn off The Hydro Quebec Electricity That The Government Sells To The USA.
Well said Doug thanks for standing up for Canada.
Thanks for the high rent as well and the 200 dollar check i didnt get in lue of a Dr. Or did tou forget thats why Justin gave you that money, not to bribe before an election.
Anyone but the cons for Canada!
T
Canada has been undermining nationalism and patriotism for years and they wonder why people dont care even if another country took over them
If you hit back Canada America will entire destroy Canada
Then stop making us pay our money to support your country.Canada is broke. We're not your baby's daddy we're not here to support you financially.
Id rather be part of the us than ontario and quebec.
Us Canadians are cooked… America doesn't need us but we do need them… Trump is about to prove that to our government and it's not Trump who's dividing us but the liberals who are destroying this country.
Trump succeeded in dividing his own country, so now he's trying to divide others. The man is unwell and lives an unhappy life
Border security is to make sure there is no competition in the governments drug dealing business.
