Ontario Premier Doug Ford Vows to “inflict as much pain as possible on the American people”
The Last Refuge ^ | 27 Mar, 2025 | Sundance

President Donald Trump talks about placing tariffs on Canadian goods. Ontario Premier Doug Ford talks about “inflicting as much pain as possible on the American people.” See the difference? Tell me again how the term “snowmexicans” is insulting. I digress.

A few thoughts. First, apparently Doug Ford doesn’t quite understand that tariffs on steel, aluminum and auto imports are not part of the “reciprocity” tariff regime. They are an entirely different category classified under national security directives to ensure American industrial capacity.

Second, as Canada moves into the “freedom fries” phase, voices like Doug Ford might want to consider the end of this continuum that finds the word “embargo” in the lingo. Perhaps President Trump would consider elevating the conversation to “reciprocity” in the banking sector. Again, I digress.

Well, that's that. No more Canadian bacon for me.

Actually, I'm not even sure if any local food outlets carry Canadian bacon. If they do, it's always called "Ham" on the packaging.

Demonically influenced if not out right possessed. Note that Trump has never sought to inflict pain on any people (even the Palestinians he has instead offered a relocation and only in conflict with those already at war with us) but this evil insists on doing it to Americans.

The petty tyrant likely believes himself some kind of enlightened superior and the rest of us ignorant disposable serfs.

Isn’t that counter-productive?

Canada is being torn asunder. Canada lacks the wherewithal to exist alone.

President Trump has forced the issue to the front. Will petty liberal Canadian faux nationalism align with Europe and become part of the Euro confederacy or will the conservative real Canadians seek to renew basic ties with America?

In migration has diluted being Canadian to the point Canadians are the minority. Canada is no longer “Canadian” but rather, a European wanna’ be

He sounds more like a 35-year old that’s finally getting kicked out of his parents’ basement. He’s become addicted to the support of others who, while they love him, insist he go make something of his life and become self-sufficient.

Doug, you aren’t holding any cards. If fact, we didn’t even invite you into the game.

That was Obama’s job, Doug.

That’s why we have Trump now.

Actually, per the current polls, he holds the cards controlling Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic provinces.

He may in fact still hold enough cards to prevail.

Multiply his cards by 1/10, that's how their economy compares.

I live in Raleigh. The Canadian government purchased a billboard on Capital Blvd stating that tariffs are a tax. To those ignoramuses I say, then why are you charging 350% tariffs on the stuff you sell the USA? Golden Rule, Canada, Golden Rule. We are not going to carry you anymore.
