"I need to call a snap election so I have a clear mandate to fight back hard against American aggression."
and then, after the election:
"It's not aggression, really. They hit us because they love us. We shouldn't make them do that."

They hit us because they love us.

I always hated Ford UNTIL he wanted to fight back. Now he's shown he's a big a pussy as Trump is.
Fuck Ford.
Nothing new there. Hating Trump was such theatre, dude was just trying to save face for getting caught being a trump fanboy. No idea why people voted for the moron, but a lot of them are the same people crying about handouts and wasteful spending that cashed a $200 cheque from the guy.
I'm drowning in a sea of morons.
Lol, that was short lived. Just a reminder that PP will do the same, he will talk big before the election and then cave first chance he gets.
This is the sort of thing that should be blasted on every Ontarian news channel. This is the guy that rural Ontarians voted for and said was doing a "good enough job".
People should know what the person they voted for is doing and how he's spending their tax money, because this entire trip was also paid for on our dime.
There's the Ford we know 🙄
"The people have spoken! We won't touch the Greenbelt!" - DoFo campaigning in 2018
Yeah, I was worried I was starting to like him for a minute there.
How long till American booze is back on the shelves you reckon?
When Ford shows his utter weakness and corruption and caves, we will have to maintain our own boycotts of US goods and services.
And didn't Doug Ford just tell us that the USA is preparing to tariff the whole world? In which case Canada wouldn't be at such a disadvantage and other countries would be incentivized to trade with us. So logically there's even less reason to appease the USA now. By caving Ford just betrays Canada.
I will continue to boycott American made stuff, and as much as possible American products.
till
'til ?
Yes
But he got such a strong mandate! /s
and thats why he caved. Got in by standing up for the usa, but he has ANOTHER 4 years
From a spineless coward to a traitor huh?
Not really a surprise, but still quite disappointing. We should be strengthening our stance, not folding like a wet towel. The fact that he's adding fabric softener and ironing in the meantime is is just plain pathetic.
What the hell happened at that meeting where he’s gone from threatening to shut off electricity to “it’s a compliment” they want to annex us?
Fuck off, we already tried giving them what they want, they changed it.
My guess is lots and lots of bribery.
Maybe Lutnick said he could be governor of the territory of Quebtario after the tanks roll in.
I'm 99% joking. 😬
A tiger can't change its stripes. Too bad Ontarians forgot that during their last election.
Face-eating leopards and tigers are running rampant there now and I have little sympathy left for ON.
DoFo proving once again that he doesn't give one rat's ass about Ontarians, only about enriching the already wealthy and sucking Republican dick.
And all the courage is gone. I liked him much better as a fighter.
Only for the cameras.
Nutlick. It’s pronounced nutlick and that’s exactly what Fords doing.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal
"No one else was in the room where it happens."
American here.
You have my consent to fight my government.
nobody is asking for it, not interested in your consent
I assume you'd prefer that to my resistance.
That, or you can't separate the people from the regime oppressing them, in which case you're just as bad.
Fuck off. Your government is an aggressor and we don't owe you a pat on the back for not making it worse
If your government is oppressing you, go fight it. Tired of this bullshit of Americans around here wanting cookies for not being republicans.
Yep. Most likely didn't vote at all and still don't think they are responsible. Where is their resistance? Waiting on the Democrats to do stuff when they won't, everyone making excuses about paycheck to paycheck and healthcare. I'm glade all the other uprisings all happened when comfortable.
Fair. I'm doing my part, but I'm in your space. Peace.
