Doug Ford: "If we go into a recession, it's self-made by one person. It's called 'President Trump's recession.' It shouldn't be this way. We should be booming. Both countries."

It is Trump's recession. He steered our country & the world into recession in 7 weeks. What will the next four years bring? https://youtu.be/yVK75OHqDXo
Doug Ford is a big asshole, but he's a fighter, I'm impressed. Meanwhile we wait for the Québec PM to announce a stop to all aluminium and/or lumber shipping to US or anything to support "the war effort", but he's soft.
Trump suffers terribly from diarrhea of the mouth and a severe case of stupid. A third generation representative of greed and lust using lies and hate to manipulate his followers. The Pied Piper of America leading witless rats to a mutual grave.
Don't worry Donny, I'm sure the #trumprecession will be HUUUUUUGE, the greatest of all time, no one in history will have done it better, there has never been a bigger supporter of recessions, recessions love you, you will be the King of All Recessions
Most things he touches end up in recession - just like his hair.
Trump wants to turn the USA into a failed business.
Familiar things are comforting to the elderly.
We are in a time of anti-expert bias. Trump is ignoring economists and recklessly making decisions that harm our economy. He is ignoring scientists in matters of health, scientific research and the environment. He is ignoring experts on foreign policy. He is an idiot and he is destroying our nation.
I would not be surprised if all of Trump's oligarch buddies sold stock and amassed a bunch of cash prior to him tanking the economy, and when it hits a low point they will buy a bunch of stock right before it goes back up. He is intentionally manipulating the economy to benefit his insider friends
A "master negotiator" tears up his own trade deal, slaps tariffs on Canada, then panics when they retaliate. His solution? More tariffs, a state of emergency, maybe a tantrum. The twist? Tariffs are taxes on his own people—but in this episode, math is fake news.
Welcome to the Twilight Zone.
ON Premier Doug Ford issued the 25% surcharge on electricity yesterday, & today, after hearing that the criminal felon will retaliate by imposing another 25% tariff on aluminum, etc. on top of the 25% tariff on aluminum, etc. Premier Ford announced that he will CUT & SHUT OFF ELECTRICITY entirely.
Doug Ford’s ego-driven decisions have hurt Ontario, from Greenbelt scandals to crumbling healthcare. He craves attention but represents corporate greed, not Canadians. A reckless opportunist, a minion, he’s a splinter in Canada’s progress. Stop giving him airtime—he serves himself, not the people.
Thank you for that local perspective. If Trump is such a problem for Canada (not just Ontario) , whatever could be done to minimize his predator's actions could benefits to Ontario as well , Who has more actions to retaliate , facing the 50% Tariffs now?
Trump’s impact on Canada is real. Ford mimics his self-serving, short-sighted leadership. Ontario needs real leadership to fight these challenges—not an opportunist focused on corporate deals over real solutions. Ford isn’t helping; he’s just in it for himself.
It'll be short lived. He started strong on covid then just fizzled out as things got tougher. He'll be hiding in his cottage soon enough. Like the Doug we know and loathe.
Sorry, I'm not sorry MSM; you do not get an itinerary of what a sovereign country will do step by step. We are all in the Found Out stage. We will either experience full stop,interruption, or full disaster brought on to us by inexperienced leadership on full display for the international community.
Ford is good at stump speeches, but a corrupt coward otherwise. He has flipped on Trump after being slighted at Mar-a-Lago. He’s a fraudster who won a super-majority with 19.5% of the eligible vote. He will give all our critical minerals away to the USA while Dani lectures at PragerU.
Ummm..no. This is Vlad Putin’s recession. Why will no one simply say this out loud? Trump is a brain-dead puppet that Putin is using to destabilize NATO and weaken Western economies. This isn’t hard, people 🙄
#TrumpMadeRecessiom. On CNBC, Jim Cramer still thinks (1) they have been screwed over the years, (2) can say “man made“ recession but never directly said, Trump is responsible. If he wants to see who is getting screwed, ask Vets, retirees, Medicaid, Medicare, diabetics, etc.
I hope Dofo keeps his windows closed upon being summoned to the US Principal’s office to discuss a trade deal. Surely Trump knows Dofo is a VERY useful, self-serving idiot & likely still has his late brother Rob’s, ‘neck to nuts’, long red, TRUMP LOYALTY ties.
The last time Trump did tarffs the farmers paid heavily, some lost their farms and the others just got bailed out by the government.Something that was foreseen my economist but he did it anyway. He's going to do it again.So when things get really bad is that when Republicans get balls or just scared
I want drug screens on Trumo, Mysk and whole cabinet!
These decisions r the decisions of drunk & high people!
* We will Takeover Canada!
*Yea Dude will take Mexico too!
* Trump can Sell Tesla's in front of White House!
Yea Dude!
* We'll Fire All Federal Workers
Yea Dude!
Drug Screens Now!
💊❄️💉💊💉🍄
I also read that they (felon's enablers) are asking for lie detectors tests for loyalty
If they can do that they those lie detectors should be used on the felon as well
No doubt about it for drugs......remember the pill pusher doctor from last term j/s
Just so you know America, Canadians don’t trust Doug Ford any farther than we can throw him - and take a look - we can’t throw that sucker.
He is a grifter just like Trump. He has already said he loves Trump.
Often find myself in agreement these days with Doug Ford, surprisingly enough, odious and obnoxious as he is in many respects. Strange how Trump has, however inadvertently, rejiggered Canadian politics. Not exactly a silver lining to all the chaos, but an interesting side-effect to be sure.
Well, he's changed his tune since being stabbed in the back (and front). Never too late to convert or have an epiphany as our Christian friends like to believe.
Yeah, I don’t believe it’s genuine. I think PCs are hedging their bets by PP and DF presenting as opposites. PCs have never been for the people. Ford’s history proves he isn’t.
We'll see. I'm taking an agnostic position here and will judge him by the actions he takes. Poilievre, for example, doesn't support the idea of taking revenue from the retaliatory tariffs and putting into government support programs, so that will be one test as which side of things he comes down on.
Which just shows how hypocritical he is - he was literally caught during the election campaign telling folks he loved the orange fucknugget and then he goes on TV now saying he's going to fight him!
Just as bad as Smith who traipsed down to MaL for a photo opp with the orangutan!
More than this. Trump cannot hide from the fact that he caused it. There's absolutely no way to spin this debacle that it's anyone else's fault than Donald John Trump.
He isn't a financial genius- Since 2018, Doug Ford added $91B to Ontario's deficit now at $429B he more than doubled his staff from 20 to 48 on the Sunshine List making more the $100,000 a year.From $2.9M in 2019 to $6.9M in 2023.Ford has the most debt and most expensive office staff in Ont history.
One solution for Canada would be to join the EC as Canadas's values are more like Europe's values and not like the values of money hungry fascists like Trump, Musk or Vance.
There is more then money and hardly anything more despicable than Trump, Musk or Vance.
Trump treats the American economy like it's his own personal Monopoly game. His petulant, childish decisions are harming Americans while he allows Elon Musk to crash our government. The Republican Congress has deserted their constituency.
The fact that he thinks it's really that simple to conquer the world. You see you just kind of hang out down here in Australia for a while building building building and then whoosh you take over the whole world just like that
Donpression up next. Let's cause mass chaos and destruction, blaim it on Biden, then build it back to half what it was and say....Look how great it is! I told you I was the only one that could save us!!!!!
Trump says he "bears no responsibility" for any possible recession. If you Google "Trump says he bears no responsibility" you will get a long list of Trump quotes that he bears no responsibility for Covid response, for the Jan 6 riot, for Afghanistan withdrawal, and for threats to Dr. Fauci, etc.
I want just one of these American news stations that Doug Ford is whoring himself out to, to ask him why he was so happy that Donald Trump won the U.S. election. Why doesn't anybody ask Ford that? Put his feet to the fire. #CanPoli #CdnPoli #DougFord #Tariffs
Doug Ford is a blowhard who will sell Ontario in a heartbeat. He is currently being criminally investigated by the RCMP. He was ecstatic when Trump got elected. He has been a huge Trump supporter for all three of his presidential campaigns. Quit treating Ford like he is Prime Minister of Canada.
Ford has always been good at messaging, he's mostly full of shit, but he generally says the right things at the right time for the people that buy it. He didn't win 3 majorities (fake majorities but still) by mistake.
Interestingly, he kind of lost, he got 41% of vote but combo of 2 shades of left parties got 48%. But Canada’s voting system is close to what you’d get if the most seats in the US House won the presidency, so he gets to lead. Also, the last center party govt. was weird so province is wary of them.
We're still stuck with FPTP (first past the post) in most provincial and national elections. Ford's primary support is everywhere outside Toronto. Rural Ontario voters aren't unlike that of rural US: lots of conservatives mad at the left… while Fordnation assrapes them from behind.
Ford has drawn a lot of votes from the Toronto suburbs too, telling them he’ll make it easier for them to drive and park downtown at the expense of pedestrians, transit and bike lanes. It’s short sighted.
We’re all on the same team versus the orange douchebag right now though.
I told Trump supporters that I wont believe their stories about vote
rigging until they can show it in court (and not be laughed at and sanctioned by a judge). Same goes for the other side this election.
He’s got that authentic, straight-talking “tell it like it is” quality that’s hard to fake. Even though he may well be full of shit. Just talking aesthetics here, of course.
The truly annoying thing about Doug Ford is that he has occasional streaks of sincerity. This is one of them. He’s a corrupt machine politician and a patriot. It’s like Mob bosses supporting the US war effort.
Oh I don’t know as I’d even drink with the guy (also I believe he does not drink).
But you can be a twisty, ethically challenged machine-politician and a slab-sided two-faced bribe-taking double-dyed sonofabitch and also a sincere patriot and he is, that’s all.
He’s full of drugs. Or did he give that up? It’s been a while since I lived in Ottawa. That was when he got all caught up in crack? Was it actually crack? That feels crazy. I may be misremembering. Set me straight.
I mean, he's pretty much as corrupt a politician as they come and totally enabled that fashy Convoy to terrorize my city for almost a month, but yeah, stopped clocks etc.
Please @MSNBC stop having this rube on. He is my Premier and he is nothing but an embarrassment. He is a Trump supporter and he is planning on selling our healthcare to American companies. He may control some energy right now, but that is it. Just talk to @mark-carney.bsky.social
Albertans should be protesting outside her office with Traitor signs. If she attends this conference, it is Canadian dollars going south. If she is being paid as a speaker, that is another can of worms. She is a traitor and a Felon asset.
I get that, he was buddies with Trump, but I also get that he's actually pissed off and fighting back.
I'm in MB, we don't swing a big stick here against the US.
Onatario has a big stick and he's swinging it. I'm happy someone is.
Carney will have to soon. Until then, he's swinging for all of us.
I understand. He is doing what he must do. After all his pandering, bowing, and simpering to the Felon and the Nazi, I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him.
Regardless of whether he supported Trump in the past, or his goals for healthcare - and I get it, I really do. I am an Albertan and all my family is in Ontario. I feel your pain - He is actually doing something to counter Trump. He's putting his elbows up with the rest of us.
I did not vote for that buffoon. He has brought American style healthcare to Ontario which is costing us millions. Wait times in ERs are well over 16 hours, he has decimated education, is under investigation by the RCMP, etc. He is a con man in a nice suit.
And, yeah, he HATES TRUMP SO MUCH and is THE ONLY ONE WHO WILL STAND UP TO HIM ... oh, he backed down IMMEDIATELY when push came to shove. lol What a paragon of Canada! lololol
Yes, we have problems to fix in Ontario, but Crombie would have failed us miserably. Mississauga knew it and she could not even get elected in her own riding where she served as mayor. Liberal party needs to get its house in order with a leader that isn't Bonnie.
He's not wrong. Just shocked it's him saying it. I know he's a conservative type and usually not a good thing, but he's playing the populist well here.
I mean not as odious as Trump is a real low bar. Ford likes trampling on rights, particularly workers’ rights and has used the notwithstanding clause of our Constitution twice to strip rights. Low waged education workers pushed him off his last attempt in a few day with a strike he declared illegal.
Granted on all points. I don't mean to defend him.
I must say that from afar (and thus insulated from real world consequences) I did kind of enjoy the antics of his late brother when he was the mayor of Toronto though. He was like the protagonist of the political comedy Chris Farley never made.
Chump and Etard are destroying our government, our economy and civil society in collusion with Chump’s boss, Flaciddick Poo-tin. These cowards betray our country, our people, and our Constitution. This is treason. Enforce the penalty.

I suspect Zelensky was smart enough to use Trump's devotion to MBS to Ukraine's benefit, which casts his separate visit to see the Crown Prince yesterday in an interesting new light.
Since Trump took office trillions and trillions of dollars have been lost in 401Ks, IRAs, investments for family savings, retirement savings, etc. because of Trump tariffs and policies.
Thanks Trump/Elon/MAGA.
Doug Ford is a scourge who only came to power because of left vote splitting. There are Canadian premiers who aren’t drug dealing, crack smoking nepo babies. Let’s hear more from Wab Kinew!
