Speaking with reporters, Ford struck a much different tone than in previous press conferences, saying, “Both parties are heated, and the temperature needs to come down.”
This fool is just that - a fool! It’s apparently illegal what’s what he was proposing to do as well! And idiotic as all get out! Trump has a damn good reason for tariffs
As Canada is the fentanyl capital of the world-yes the world! Trump wants that stopped but the liberal government is ‘in’ with the cartels so why would they want to stop the gravy train?
So, you have lost your mind? Are you personally high on fentanyl right now?
Canada does have its own drug use issues but nothing like the states. Our police have made a variety of drug lab busts but we too have criminals and drug dealers.
Let’s look at the comparison:
• U.S. Opioid Deaths (2020): The U.S. had 21.6 deaths per 100,000 people due to opioids, the highest among Western nations.
• Canada Opioid Deaths (2020): Canada had 7.6 deaths per 100,000, significantly lower than the U.S. rate, but still substantial.
Other Western Countries:
• The UK had 1.4 deaths per 100,000, and
• Germany had 0.4 deaths per 100,000.
It seems that the closer you get to the US the worse a country’s drug problem becomes.
In 2023 and 2024 US Customs stopped 50,000 lbs of fentanyl coming through ports of entry. In 2024, US customs attributed 32.1 pounds of Fentanyl to Canada. Most of this was actually attributed incorrectly by western border patrol as it had actually entered in Seattle and hadn’t come from Canada.
Recently Canadian customs actually seized about 100 pounds of fentanyl coming into Canada over the border with the US. The 46 kilograms of fentanyl seized in the bust is more than the 19.5 kilograms (or 43 pounds) of fentanyl seized at the Canadian border between October 2023 and September 2024, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. About 9,570 kilograms (21,100 pounds) of fentanyl were seized at the U.S.-Mexico border during that same 2023-2024 period.
You need to switch off Fox News and stop listening to the fascist propagandists. There are no Mexican cartels here. There are no fentanyl labs operating freely and with government consent.
There are Mexican gangs operating in the US, and there’s no reason to believe that tons of fentanyl aren’t being produced domestically. Maybe that’s why your fentanyl problem is so much bigger than Canada’s or… and this is so far fetched to be laughable but, bear with me… maybe it’s the result of decades of American doctors prescribing opiates like M&Ms and 20% of Americans being hooked.
Your leaders are lying to you and counting on you to not do any research and to keep spreading the lies for them.
Our 100% corrupt treasonous government is gonna do everything in its power to keep Trump away because you know darn well that Trump's got dirt on all these pedo pieces of shit. Our government absolutely does not have the peoples interest at heart! They only care about keeping their pocketbooks full on our dime and keeping their crimes under wraps. Just sayin...
Based on Ontario, Canada, placing a 25% Tariff on “Electricity” coming into the United States, I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA, ONE OF THE HIGHEST TARIFFING NATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. This will go into effect TOMORROW MORNING, March 12th. Also, Canada must immediately drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250% to 390% on various U.S. dairy products, which has long been considered outrageous. I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada. If other egregious, long time Tariffs are not likewise dropped by Canada, I will substantially increase, on April 2nd, the Tariffs on Cars coming into the U.S. which will, essentially, permanently shut down the automobile manufacturing business in Canada. Those cars can easily be made in the USA! Also, Canada pays very little for National Security, relying on the United States for military protection. We are subsidizing Canada to the tune of more than 200 Billion Dollars a year. WHY??? This cannot continue. The only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State. This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear. Canadians’ taxes will be very substantially reduced, they will be more secure, militarily and otherwise, than ever before, there would no longer be a Northern Border problem, and the greatest and most powerful nation in the World will be bigger, better and stronger than ever — And Canada will be a big part of that. The artificial line of separation drawn many years ago will finally disappear, and we will have the safest and most beautiful Nation anywhere in the World — And your brilliant anthem, “O Canada,” will continue to play, but now representing a GREAT and POWERFUL STATE within the greatest Nation that the World has ever seen!
"Also, Canada pays very little for National Security, relying on the United States for military protection."
Where exactly is this terrible threat they're supposedly protecting us from? If he means Canada doesn't pay its fair share of the USA's foreign adventures such as Iraq and Afghanistan, then he may have a point, but why would you do that anyway? When did Iraq or Afghanistan ever threaten Canada?
You want to play global hegemon, do it own your own dime.
"The US subsidizes us to the tune of 200 Billion a year"
I keep hearing that, but I've yet to see a credible source. Not too long ago Trump was talking about Russian casualties in WWII and he claimed there were 60M! The official number is 27M, so if Trump said it, you can be almost certain it's a massive exaggeration if not something made entirely of whole cloth.
There are some winners. If you produce a domestic replacement for something being hit with tariffs, you win. Canadian wine makers and distillers for example.
I've noticed that wherever there's a demand, somehow a supply will appear. Just as true for fentanyl as anything else. So two questions:
Why is there such a huge demand for fentanyl in the USA? What could possibly be causing so many people to become addicted? By comparison, cigarettes (also addictive) are widely available and yet sales have been falling for years. That suggests that something attributable to the US social environment is responsible and not Canada's problem, except to the degree that it's happening here as well..
Question #2. Why is it Canada's responsibility to protect the US border? Last time I visited the USA I sailed right through the Canadian border post. Only the US side asked me about my intentions and what I was bringing in.

"As Canada is the fentanyl capital of the world-yes the world!"
Who told you that? Such bold assertions need a credible source.
What's your source please.
Being a left wing liberal nut job seems to be your specialty as is with most of your ilk. You need salvation. I’ll pray for you 🙏🏻
Have you had a stroke? Unplug from Fox Entertainment and look up a fact. Spewing shit seems to be your specialty, have you tried imodium?
What?! The blowhard finally realized that Canada cannot win a tariff war with America?
The puffball poking the bear.
Trudeau and the Liberal way of thinking started all of this crap
LOL 😆 Hey Doug, make sure you get down on BOTh knees when you kiss Trump's ass for forgiveness.
This is all the Liberals fault and Doug is throwing gas on the 🔥.
Trump will bankrupt your Provence.
He needed a mandate election for that??? A pair of fresh diapers would have sufficed.
Good for Ford, put on your big boy pants, stop throwing crap back and forth meet face to face and FIGURE THIS OUT. CANADIANS ARE LOSING THEIR MINDS
Some of us know that it is NOT ALL TRUMP doing this
Stand up, step up and get this figured out
AMEN
You need to understand this entire thing has nothing to do with tariffs:

You are spot on. You and I are seeing the same trends and the same red flags. So many pieces to a very big, very ugly picture.
Right? I just wish more people would wake up a little quicker here🙏
Trump just dick-slapped Ford.
Ya just spent 1+++something million on an election you did not need, just to get the same results
That was money stolen from very needy, worried taxpayers, NO WONDER CANADA IS SCREWED!!
This couldnt have anything to do with it Dougie?

The US subsidizes us to the tune of 200 Billion a year. Why?
We're a resource rich country we should be able to take care of ourselves.
But we don't.

Nobody wins in a tariff war. Least of all the people on both sides of the border.
There are some winners. If you produce a domestic replacement for something being hit with tariffs, you win. Canadian wine makers and distillers for example.
Hahaha.. what a loaer!
What a maroon ... somebody hand him a carrot.
This has nothing to do with tariffs. Canadians are—as usual—completely uninformed.
