Ontario Premier Doug Ford has unleashed a fiery critique of President Donald Trump’s tariffs, labeling them an “unprovoked attack” on Canada during an interview on MSNBC’s “Ana Cabrera Reports.” Ford warned of a looming recession, claiming the tariffs threaten jobs, auto plants in Michigan, and American pensions. But is this just Canadian bluster, or a misreading of Trump’s bold strategy to protect American interests? Breitbart
“President Trump’s tariffs are driving markets down, hurting American workers and businesses. It’s time to drop these tariffs for good and reach a fair deal. Until then, Ontario won’t back down.” — @fordnation, 13:16 2025-03-11 EDT
Key Event: Tariffs and Retaliation
The US-Canada trade spat has intensified recently. Trump slapped tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum, citing national security—a move to shield American industries. Ford fired back with a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to the US, prompting Trump to up the ante. On Truth Social, he announced, “Based on Ontario, Canada, placing a 25% Tariff on ‘Electricity’ coming into the United States, I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA.” CNBC
Trump’s Role: Protecting American Workers
Trump’s tariffs aren’t an attack—they’re a defense. He’s long championed American workers against lopsided trade deals, arguing that nations like Canada have exploited the US for too long. Critics like Ford predict economic doom, but supporters see a calculated push to bring jobs home. Trump once said, “We’re bringing wealth back to America. That’s a big thing. And there are always periods of, it takes a little time.” Newsweek
Deep State Angle: Globalists vs. America First
Behind the tariff backlash, some see a deeper game. Globalist elites—entrenched in Washington’s bureaucracy—favor open borders and free trade over American sovereignty. Ford’s pleas to CEOs echo their agenda, not the will of working Americans. Trump’s tariffs defy these shadowy interests, prioritizing the heartland over international profits. It’s a stand against a system that’s sold out the US for decades.
Standing with Trump
Ford’s threats of recession and chaos don’t hold up—Trump’s fighting for America’s future. Patriots can’t let Canada’s retaliation or globalist whining derail this mission.
