You never make a threat unless you follow through.

I'm so mad he backed off when Trump is still doing the 25% at midnight. Why did you fold Doug?!

[roycuyler]

Typical gutless politician. WTF, Ford???

[KenM-jy]

I’ve lost all respect for governor Ford

[Eltee]

Ford is weak as hell. All that talk. SMH

[wyettmunro]

[sdpofjcoismzfljj]

Now we are going to be ok with 25%. We lost.

"Captain Canada" caved. What a stooge

[bubbar]

Ford blinked! what a stupid move. What is Trump offering Ford? Stand on business Ford.

Omg…ALL BLUSTER! Knew he’d cave. It’s like watching kids in a sandbox fighting over a toy.

Talked a big game lmao, folded like a chair. Maybe choking on more bees will help you not talk a big game. 🗣🐝🐝🐝

Just goes to show you this is all one big joke of a pissing contest. Nothing is real and nobody is honourable to anyone but themselves.

[HollyGW]

Ford totally FOLDED!! SO DISAPPOINTED

[suesamson]

Wow so much for “Not backing down” Ford …

[coleenlewis-watts]

So serious that you dropped to your knees and begged for forgiveness… What a fool!

[babelfishdude]

Now all we have to do is double the price of oil.

[Jack-hlys]

How much they pay you ford to do that?

[MaxNafeHorsemanship]

I WAS starting to like Doug Ford. Turns out he is a coward like the rest.

These are people’s lives & jobs. Stop acting like children, sit down & work deals fair to both sides.
