Ontario premier Doug Ford to call snap election to fight Trump tariff threat

ai generated text

Doug Ford, the leader of the Progressive Conservative party in Ontario, has been a vocal defender of Canada against Trump's attacks. He has stated that Trump is trying to "devastate" Canada's economy and has called for an early election in the province to protect against an "income attack" from Trump.

    1. This election shows us that the only job he's interested in protecting is his own.
    1. With a strong mandate, we will be able to fight with Donald Trump to make sure we stop the tariffs.
    2. The attack is coming against our families, our businesses, our communities, and with a strong mandate, we will be able to fight with Donald Trump.
    3. He's going to try to devastate our country.
    4. You need a loud voice at the table.
    1. We have a tremendous deficit with Canada. We're not going to have that anymore. We can't do that.
    1. All the reasons that Ford wants an election is exactly the reasons opposition parties don't want to have one.
    2. And voters usually punish governments when the economy is bad, even if the government isn't responsible. So they might suspect things could be bad a year from now. Right now, they feel they're doing pretty well and can run on that.
    3. The premier is likely thinking that if the tariffs come to pass, they're going to have a real serious economic impact. Any retaliation by Canada is going to be very controversial and will have economic pains of its own.
