I dunno Ford backed down from his 25% electricity export surcharge right away... Let's get a plan between the feds and provinces and coordinate in executing the retaliations. Then when T[rump] slaps 50% steel and aluminium tariffs Quebec and NFLD adds a electricrity surcharge to their exports.
I was so disappointed to hear he folded so quickly on the surcharge. Trump himself has said that America doesn't need Canada's energy at the start of his trade war. If Doug had a spine he would have put that surcharge on until a new deal has been signed. That deal should have conditions that the surcharge will come back and could increase if America wants to start the trade war back up.
Lets not play his game of flipping and flopping every few days and making big headlines, instead lets make a decision and follow through with it.
He backed down and had talks with US officials. Now that Trump has shown that the talks didn't accomplish anything Ford might be more inclined to hold his ground next time.
He might get to go on another vacation down to DC again why would he give that up? Heck maybe him and his 12 buddies will go down there again to talk to an assistant of a secretary for the assistant to the secretary of Trade.
Thinking that Drug Fraud has enough of a conscience to support Canadians over his own selfish desires is like spitting into the wind.
Dude just likes making people think he cares, when in fact he doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.
