Premier Doug Ford says he needs a “clear mandate” from Ontario voters to wage an economic battle against potentially devastating tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump says could come on Feb. 1.
Ford’s comments to reporters Monday at Queen’s Park following Trump’s inauguration were the clearest indication yet he intends to call an election in the province, after months of fuelling speculation of an early vote.
“These are negotiations that are going to go on for quite some time right now. And make no mistake about it: he’s coming for us,” Ford said of Trump. “I need a clear mandate from the people of Ontario. Not for tomorrow, or the next day — for four years of dealing with our American friends.”
At the start when he was panicking and relying on the experts? Yes.
Withholding money from the healthcare system in Ontario during a pandemic is not something I will be praising him for, and contributes to the reasons why I will never vote for him.
Yes, it’s a mixed bag. We could have done a lot worse with our vaccine rollout and we actually did do decent shutdowns, which were needed.
That boredom phase where everyone started going stir crazy thinking it was over was a mess.
Withholding funds from the hospitals is just par the course for him and it really bothers me.
