Amazing how quickly Ford's true intentions were revealed. Never was about Canada. The EV/Canola/Ag deal with China makes total sense. Better prices for our exports, more options for cars. Nobody ever cared about "our western values" anyways, its time to prioritize the economy.

Its difficult to know if he will be able to deliver, but Carney's speech was remarkable, easily the greatest by a Canadian leader in my lifetime. I'd encourage everyone to watch it in full.

Carney has no real ‘Moral Worth’. It isn’t all just about the money. People are going hungry,cold and forgotten in Canada. God help us if he lets China build anything in Canada,for us.

‘Aquaintances of convenience’ I don’t blame Doug Ford for being upset. Allowing Chinese Electric cars into Canada is bad move. US took notice immediately. My father once said “There are usually two sides to a story. Sometimes three.” ‘Commie Carney’ is a nickname I’m going to use now. There are several companies bought outright by China here in Alberta. They are the most run down,dangerous sites I’ve been on. Union Busters! No safety protocol. Men have died.

Perhaps his attitude was adjusted when the PM smacked his hand and apologized to Donald for buying the anti-tariff ad?

Also, regarding Ford feeling blindsided by the Chinese car thing - do we know if Ford consulted Carney about the Ronald Reagan ad before they ran it?

Politicians, especially liberal politicians, will say anything to get a vote. That's especially true of the current federal liberal government and Ontario's conservative (mostly liberal) Premier. 'Twas ever thus and likely will never change. Politics for clicks, that's where we are now.

Being the smartest member of the Ford family does not mean much in the rest of the world.

Very good. Won't resonate with the panic addicts who need sensationalism to keep their hearts beating.

Have yet to see the plan for lifting the post-nation state out of its self-induced torpor. Fortunately our leaders are plotting to repel invasions that will never come, taking umbrage at perceived slights and generally distracting the populace so the real problems aren't discussed.

To early for a shot of Crown Royal, so will nap instead.

Maybe Alberta and Saskatchewan should run ads in Ontario quoting Ronald Reagan's views on tariffs?

Premier Greenbelt needs new advisers to stop him from always jumping to quick conclusions without all the facts. Please don’t let them anywhere near the federal Party!

Where's my inter-provincial trade agreement? Oh - that was then.

Ford’s current position is all about positioning himself for a run for the Conservative Party should PPs leadership fail. Then on to PM! The forces of delusion are also at work in Canada.

Ford would never get support outside of Ont.....and even that is questionable...

That would sure be a historic example of failing upward. He'd be indistinguishable from a Liberal so acceptable to the establishment though, and therefore he would actually have a shot.
