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.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford announces the Canadian government intention to “inflict as much pain as possible against the American people.” [video at link]

Hey Edsel, pretty much everything in Ontario west of Sudbury is heavily dependent on U.S. tourists, mostly fishermen. Many of them went to places in Minnesota during your stupid Chinese Flu lockdown and found out it wasn’t all that bad. And cheaper, too. So, GFY.

There was a psychological experiment once. The set up was you could share in a reward or stop your opponent from getting anything but it meant you got nothing too.

One of those options got over half by a good margin.

How easy it is...to push the buttons on global socialists. Thank you for the quote, Herr Ford.

There is nothing Canada produces that we cannot live without. Heck, our Bacon, Syrup and especially our Whiskey are superior in every way. Even IF Canada produced something amazing, I’d happily forego it as long as it takes to even out trade and get imbeciles like Ford relegated to the trash in.

“SnowMexicans” lol! That’s new to me and HILARIOUS!

Ford isnt the guy taking Trudeau’s place. His position is akin to a US governor. And you are correct. It is likely the conservatives will not win the election.

Those who are driven by the evil one hate everything that is good and decent because their master hates anything good and decent. They may not consciously be serving him, but they certainly are serving him unknowingly.

If Doug Ford were dropped from cruise altitude, it would destroy much of the east coast.

The exchange rate stinks for Canadians and snowbird season is just about over. I doubt any American would give a cold shoulder to a Canadian snowbird. I never got one when I headed north on fishing trips except from customs people..

Just knowing the canucks are on our northern border is pain enough.

ribbit, ribbit ribbit. Another froggie spews out hatred.
Pi$$ off.

Just close the border to this province. Completely. Any imports to US can come thru other provinces and help enrich them.
