Premier Doug Ford says Ontario could cut off energy to the U.S. if president-elect Donald Trump makes good on a threat to impose steep tariffs on Canadian goods.

    Another international pissing contest. None of these people should be leading.

    Retaliation can get ugly quickly. Does Toronto still ship its garbage to Michigan?

    Although I guess Ford wouldn’t mind if Toronto suffered so he could look like a tough guy.

    I’m so conflicted right now. I guess shit stains can say the right thing once in awhile.

      He is trying to win over voters like you. He’s trying to win the next election which he’s going to call early, before the Federal elections. That’s why Ontario Government has been spending a SHIT LOAD of your money on ads saying how great they’re doing.

        Fair enough. Except he’s not trying to win over voters like me. I live in Scotland. I’m only eligible for federal elections. And when I was living in Canada, I lived in Vancouver, so double not trying to win me over. Also I like bikes, so triple fuck me I guess 👍

        Poor bastard knows if Polinever is elected, we’re going straight for Crombie provincially.

          I hear a lot of people are fed up with the Liberals, but if they don’t vote that way we end up with the Conservatives. As the old saying goes “Fuck around and find out.” Trying to make up for a poor showing Federally by voting Provincially isn’t good enough.

        Unless it’s the broken clock in our lunch room. It alternates between going too fast and too slow, it’s literally never right. At least never when I check it.

            Nah, the thing’s just a cheap POS. We’ve been asking for it to be replaced for 2yrs, it’s only about 3yrs old.
            And we’re fortunate in that they don’t really track our breaks. As long as we get our work done that’s really all they expect from us…and sometimes not even that…

      They are both posturing. Ford is an excellent politician (though poor at providing governance) and he’s smarter than you. He knows tariffs are not Trump’s end game. They both get to act tough and then Trump tries to renegotiate the trade agreement again.
