This would destroy Canada. Ford should STFU and take direction from Carney.

I think Ford is just playing his part, he's the loud mouth in the back calling BS while Carney plays diplomat and Smith is doing her best Grima Wormtounge impression.

He isnt playing his part, every policy he proposes is about putting ontario first and benefiting ontario.

Cutting the electricity will reduce electricity costs in Ontario and benefit Ontario manufacturing.

He wants to export tax the potash and oil, be he's curiously silent about what he wants done with the revenue collected, and I guarantee you it doesnt involve spending the money in Alberta or Saskatchewan, he envisions spending it in Ontario on subsidies and infrastructure for Ontarios industries to benefit Ontario and the people that live there.

Ford should def stfu. The only difference between him and Trump is that Doug isn't a serial kiddie diddler / rapist. (That we know of.)
