I still don't like Ford, but I do like that he was going to do this.
I don't like that he delayed when the tariffs were delayed.
Honestly, these guys need to piss or get off the pot. Either do what you're saying you'll do, or make a swift exit from the job. Honestly.

Seriously. There's no consideration for all the scrambling that businesses have to do, even when it's just a threat.
Shit, he backed down when Trump postponed the tariffs.
It at least shows how piss weak these people are when it comes to feeding their disgusting greed.
Finally some populism I can get behind.
This is the way. Canada should keep making these kinds of moves to hurt the oligarchs, not the country they claim to be part of.
Musk has proven his goal is to interfere with politics on a global level, not just here in the US.
Yes but also, as an American who isn't particularly well off (basking in the immense luxury of being middle class), my countryfolk need to learn what pissing off our allies gets us. My state voted for Trump, he was brazenly clear that he wanted to hurt our citizens and our allies to try to force people to do whatever he wants. We need to learn better
It is interesting to see that Canadian apathy has suddenly turned into a united stand for Canada.
I heard a 10 year old kid in the store yesterday, "Dad, can I get this? I checked , it is made in Canada"
It sucks it has come to this.
Doug Ford is a douche, but he is enough of a douche to not be politically correct in terms of relations with the USA.
I see Canadian apathy as a coping mechanism. We've been so fucked over in so many small ways over such a long timeframe that we can't possibly give a fuck about so much of the bullshit that's happening. We simply don't have the energy to even pretend to care.
We'll still show up to the booths and vote when asked (a lot of us will at last), but other than that, we're expecting and un-phased that things are getting worse constantly. Whether that bullshit is coming from our government or something from a neighbor or whatever, doesn't matter.
Our apathy should not be confused with either a willingness to take action when we feel strongly about something, nor an inability to take action.
I am Canadian, and every person I've met who can say the same has a lot of National pride. We're known for being kind, and we're proud of it. Push us the wrong way, and we'll burn down the white house. (iykyk)
We need more French blood. Government tries to pull a fast one, they take to protesting immediately
I wish I was Canadian
I don't, but that's mostly because I like having very good Internet access and I'm European.
If I was USian, I'd wish I was Canadian.

Canada will be more efficient without the Musk.
The whole world would.
Isnt a contract something that you get in trouble for ripping up and not paying? Like that's the definition of a contract
Depends on the contract and the clauses. We dont know what it says or how its worded.

If the penalty is less than the increased tarrifs then they're still saving money

I know Ford makes bad decisions, but I am all for this decision. Punched right at the core of the problem.

I peeked into conservative subs, and people are cheering βowningβ Canada for not treating us fairly.
β¦WTF? Has this been going on for a while?
Other than family with some Canadian ties, the only real sentiment Iβve heard before the inauguration was is that Canadians are overly polite, even among conservative family. The fentanyl thing seemsβ¦ what?

Keep in mind that a lot of "conservative" opinions are bought and paid for... They literally hire people to spread propaganda and stir shit up, around the world. For example, https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-ballingall-conservative-leadership-canada-proud-1.6433088

Doug Ford is basically Julien getting out of jail and chasing Cyrus out of the trailer park.
And Iβm all for it.
