Stop talking about it. Trump is loving all the public attention. You’re feeding the fire.

[proto_arkbit]

Did ghosts visit Doug in his sleep or something? Its like he suddenly cares about Canada again! I hope he keeps it up because every strong Canadian politician is one less sugar baby for Trump!

Note to dougie …..we don’t have the military to defend this country. Stop talking

[brendahay-beer]

If you don't like Canada, stay on your side of the border. Don't whine. Boo hoo.

[bacchushollywood]

We need to be liberated from these dictators!

Canada is a beautiful and peaceful country. It's not a state and will never be 51st state. We are proud to be strong and free. Thank you Doug Ford for standing up against bullies.

[waynemartin]

Don't know about being a proud Canadian any more but the behaviour of our political leaders makes me one very embarrassed Canadian.

YIU WILL STOP ENERGY TO THE MIGHTY USA. TOTALLY HILARIOUS

[jalalshaikh]

Right.
We are proud to be Canadian.
We are true north strong.
We are patriotic citizens.

[josephstymest]

At least in the states they have the right to defend themselves and their property.
We dont.

[goreilly]

Look. We have to make a defense commitment of 2% GDP. Why don't we Canadians build fleet of robotic submarines to patrol all 3 coastlines? Canadian money, Canadian expertise, Canadian jobs, Canadian Artic defense.

[SimonRockwell-uueo]

Every politician will fight against it of course .. they'd be unemployed with no sweetheart pension if we did. And yeah, like the adults in the room have said, its just a joke. Cool down...

LOVE you, Mr. Ford. Im standing up for Ontario and ALL of Canada to say "We'll NEVER be the 51st State."

[carolinebjerkelund]

You know who has great video about standing up for Canada? It is NDP Charlie Angus, he even has BTO playing to it. It is called "A message to Donald Trump from Canada" It will make ya smile.

Please tell president Musk and VP Trump no thank you

[mikeduncan]

He's talking when he should be listening!!

[ShowtimeDr]

Maybe you guys should fix the border issues then. If you can't even do that, why are you upset?
