'Canada is not the problem, China is…': Ford vows to retaliate to Trump tariffs after Trudeau quits

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has vowed to keep Canada’s interest above amid a transition in both US and Canadian government. He also retorted sharply to Trump’s 51st state jibe, saying he offers to buy Alaska, Minnesota and Minneapolis. Even as outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called for house suspension till March, Ford said the prorogation does not mean a vacation for Canada or Ontario.

I think Trump is looking ahead to merging with Canada and Mexico in closer bonds as a regional force, which will make us all stronger, though interdependent.

Time to become the 51st state Canadian politicians are all in it for themselves -- Ford & Trudeau should never be forgotten for what they did during the lockdowns! The problem is Canadian politicians.
