Ontario’s Ford says Canada, U.S. should avoid trade war and take on China

5 comments

1. In a recent CNN interview, Ontario Premier Doug Ford underscored the necessity for Canada and the United States to collaborate in countering China’s influence, rather than resorting to a damaging trade war. While he acknowledged the potential for cutting off energy exports to the U.S. as a retaliatory measure against proposed tariffs, he expressed a strong preference for enhancing trade relations instead. Ford criticized Mexico for acting as a conduit for Chinese imports, urging the country to choose between aligning with Beijing or Washington. He emphasized the deep interconnectedness of the Canadian and American economies, arguing that a trade war would ultimately benefit China at the expense of both nations. Through his outreach to U.S. media, including this interview, Ford aims to inform Americans about the potential negative impacts of tariffs on consumers and the critical importance of maintaining robust trade ties.

2. Rare Doug Ford moment of clarity here

3. China and Canada will end up teaming up to take on Trump 🤣

4. A uniform and open trade bloc focusing on the EU, North America, and accompanying Pacific states, for example.

5. Would Trudeau resigning be enough of a scalp to satisfy Trump? Or is he going to be all in with the tarriffs?
