Episode Details

Ontario’s Doug Ford is escalating Canada’s trade response, demanding faster retaliation than the September 8 deadline after U.S. talks collapsed over unacceptable limits on Canada’s global trade freedom. Furious at what he calls U.S. bullying, Ford warns of massive job losses in auto, steel, and manufacturing — industries already sounding alarms. With the U.S. slapping 50% tariffs on Canadian goods like dairy and electronics, Ford vows a comprehensive, no-holds-barred counterstrike — even threatening to disrupt Ontario’s critical electricity grid that powers millions across the border. He’s pushing for swift negotiations before Labour Day and betting on a political “rude awakening” for Trump in the midterms — all while insisting Canada must stand firm for fair trade and jobs.
