Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Wednesday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that if President Donald Trump removes tariffs, Canada will drop all of their tariffs.
Host Andrew Ross Sorkin said, “Do you expect this to be a negotiation? meaning there has been a sense, implied or otherwise, that we’re going to hear a number, whether it’s 20% or something else, as a sort of top, and that if folks like yourself come forward and say, you know what, we’re going to take some tariffs off of this and we’re going to do this, perhaps that those tariff numbers come down?”
Ford said, “Well, let’s hope so. Let’s sit down and discuss this because it’s just going to hurt American jobs. I can’t stress it enough and you know again he believes he’s supporting Americans. He said he was going to create jobs, create wealth, reduce inflation it’s worked the total opposite.”
Ross Sorkin said, “But do you think it’s fair that you have tariffs on a whole number of products.”
Ford said, “That’s right. And we’d be willing to take those off tomorrow if he took all the tariffs off. We are not the problem. Andrew do you know the problem is? China is the problem. And he’s taking a blind eye to China as they continue to build their critical mass. We have all the critical minerals that our great neighbors need. we have the energy that our great neighbors need.”

Liberals in the media just now catching on...
I felt like saying that to him lol
Exactly!!!
Ford said just a few days ago he wanted to inflict as much pain as possible now he’s completely changed his tune....i don’t know how much power he has to “drop all tariffs” though...
You first then we think about it.
BLINKED
Pound snow, Herr Ford.
dougie is concerned about American jobs
how does the governor of ontario speak for canada?
good news if canada does this
but we want dougie to say it again
on his knees
Ford is in no position to offer anything
It would be like Gavin Newsom talking about peace plans for Ukraine.
This hoser speaks for all of Canuckistan? Go for it, eh? Call Trump’s bluff! Just do it and put the ball in his court. Or, should I say, the puck on his side of the ice?
You first Canada...
The President is calling their bluff and they fold.
That was the whole idea.
No tariffs!
reciprocal tariffs happen until your tariffs go away.
stop them and ours will stop.
Ford doesn’t have the authority to speak for the entire country on tariffs.
I love it
We don’t want zero tariffs. We want fair trade. You must have tariffs to have fair trade.
Without the imposition of tariffs we cannot be rich or have manufacturing jobs. The goal of tariffs is not to reduce countervailing tariffs it is to reduce mere fair trade.
Is the PM saying the same thing?
And now it is down to school yard games. What a dip sh-t.
You first a-hole
