Summary
Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced he is canceling a $100M contract with Elon Musk’s Starlink and banning U.S. firms from provincial contracts in retaliation for Donald Trump’s tariffs on Canada.
Ford warned that American companies could lose “tens of billions” in revenues.
Canada and Mexico have imposed counter-tariffs, while Ontario also plans to remove American liquor brands from stores.
Trump responded by suggesting Canada should become the U.S.’s 51st state to avoid tariffs, arguing Canada’s trade surplus makes it economically dependent on the U.S.
Fuck yeah Canada. More of this please.
Not trying to bring down the party, but Ford is an absolute monster. This is definitely a ‘broken clock’ situation, and sadly will probably lead to him winning yet again.
I’m not a fan of Ford, but a broken clock…
oh shit is this the same braindead guy from not just bikes?
Yeah, he’s an absolute piece of shit and it’s really weird to see him on the right side of this one.
Ford honestly scares me, because he’s the kind of right wing asshole who knows how to pick his battles. He’s smart enough to see a losing cause and stay the fuck away from it. He’ll probably be prime minister some day, especially if PP manages to flame out at the next election.

That’s your answer.
Oh, yeah, I said it was weird, I didn’t say I had any questions about it. I know damn well why he’s doing this.
One in the same!
The expression is “one and the same”.
And his brother was the one that was addicted to crack!
Wait, really? I thought he was addicted to crack.
No that was Rob and he’s dead
All the insane suburban Toronto politicians can be addicted to crack… just a little, as a treat.
You know, personally i think Rob Ford (and his shit brother!) is a piece of shit and shady as fuck.
Today, i am proud as Hell, of our 100% dyed in the wool, CANADIAN piece of shit!
GO CANADA!
oh, …and fuck musk! Edit: I meant the reverse. Yes. Rob dead. Doug driving now. Brain fart.
In space, no one can hear you…
The odd Doug Ford win
Finding myself agreeing with him despite myself is an odd feeling because generally I fuckin dislike him and what he stands for.
He’s still a piece of shit, but he’s not a dummy.
Politicians often are experts at feeling where the wind blows.
I’m shocked to see Canadian conservatives Actually side with their country over authoritarian billionaires. Like I’m downright flabbergasted. Never in 100 years did I think they’d actually circle the wagons. I mean I’m still not really convinced, but I have my eyebrows raised.
Same. I’m waiting to see what the play is because I have such a hard time believing he’s not fellating the rich.
A noble act and good luck to it but I doubt these few water weak men trying to take over the world will even notice.
lol
Smart move by Ontario, hopefully the other provinces will do the same.
