To all the DUer's reposting Ontario Premier Doug Ford (IE Canada's most popular Pro-tRump fake patriot) - PLEASE STOP

[Fords Crackpipe]

Despite all his phony posturing and useless soundbites about retaliatory tariffs, Doug Ford is nothing more than a conservative, pro-trump traitor to Canada trying to ride the latest wave of our well-justified patriotism.

For those requiring a brief primer on Canadian Politics:
Ford is only Premier of ONTARIO, not CANADA.
He therefore has ZERO authority to implement any sort of cross-border retaliatory measures INCLUDING TARIFFS.

That is the FEDERAL responsibility of our Liberal CANADIAN Prime Minister Trudeau - who has done more to protect our sovereignty than this worthless shitbag.
As Prime Minister, it is TRUDEAU and TRUDEAU ALONE who is responsible for the retaliatory tariffs and who is leading our great country in this struggle.

As for Doug Ford:
1) He already identified repeatedly as a Canadian Maga:
Ford Says His Support for Trump is 'Unwavering'

2) He posed with, and was endorsed by, an entity listed by the Canadian government as a terrorist organization:
Doug Ford named Proud Boy of the month

Link to tweet

3) -He is a sniveling slimy ass fucking weasel just trying to avoid the blowback of his prior praise for tRump,

-He has zero fucking integrity at all - as evidenced by his incessant flip flopping.

-And he is gutting Ontario's universal healthcare system with plans to replace it with a US style private model:
Doug Ford’s Government plans to privatize Health Care

Please stop reposting this con shitbag and giving him free airtime.
I say that as a Canadian who ACTUALLY values our sovereignty - and our universal healthcare.

If you want to help, repost material from our Prime Minister- Justin Trudeau.
You know - the guy who actually can and IS doing something about the tRump trade war.

Sincerely,

A Canadian

1. Thank you

K and R for visibility.

[Fords Crackpipe]

6. No problem, thanks for checking out my post! n/t

[Nigrum Cattus]

2. Thanks - rats are everywhere

[Fords Crackpipe]

5. Agree 100% n/t

[AZJonnie]

3. Good to be reminded, thank you!

When his name has been bandied about recently I found myself thinking "Wasn't that dude a Trumpist wanker in the past? Maybe I'm mixing him up with someone else ". Good to see I wasn't losing my memory entirely after all.

[Fords Crackpipe]

4. No, you're not losing your memory at all. In fact you're far more astute than a lot of other people who seem to forget

[Progressive dog]

7. Thanks, but the threat by Ford

to NY is not about a tariff, it is about an export tax of 25%.
I searched for whether he has authority to charge an export tax and found only articles claiming that he was going to slap a 25% tax on electricity exports. I will continue to assume he can until I see a media source that questions his power.

[LiberalArkie]

19. And the "Tax" was only on Blue states, wasn't it?

[Spazito]

8. I'm planning to continue to post news about what Ford is doing wrt trump's actions, ...

if it is substantive enough to merit our attention, whether it be good or bad. Right now, whatever Canadians, politicians or anyone else, are doing to fight the tariffs and trump's other despicable behavior, deserves to be made public, imo.

I will now attach a DISCLAIMER at the end of any such post stating it is not being posted in support of Ford, or Alberta's Smith, so no one thinks otherwise.

9. Mahalo, Spazito! Do you know if Doug Ford wants "Canada to be the

51st state"?

I would think his ".. Unwavering support for Mump" would make him Less popular in Canada.

[Spazito]

10. No, he has come out against it but...

most of his responses are the result of him reading the tealeaves as to how enraged Canadians, including Ontarians, are about this. He has been sidling up to trump prior to the imposition of tariffs as well as this despicable garbage about a "51st state".

The tariffs being imposed by trump hurt Ontario a great deal, the auto industry is a very large part of it's economy so it has been in Ford's best political interest to come out strongly against all of this.

One thing to note is that at the time of Ford's 'decisions' regarding the tariffs and the '51st state' garbage, he was in the middle of an Provincial election so one could question whether his strong position was due to that election or is actually being done for the right reasons.

Sadly, he won that election and will be Premier for the third time and will, no doubt, be supporting the Conservative party and that could very well put them into the governing party, VERY bad news for us.

14. TY Spazito.. To me he just Looks Stupid for supporting the Idiot

And then the Fascist Monster Dloes this to Canada!

[Spazito]

23. He is completely without ethics or morals, imo...

and it boggles my mind Ontarians put him back in power yet again but I live in the province known as Texas North for good reason, unfortunately, and it has been conservative forever so I have no room to talk. I know my vote will make no difference federally but, to me, if you don't vote, you don't have the right to complain about the government that was elected, imo.

29. Aww.. I'll tell ya one thing... I am a Lot more interested

in Canadian Politics than Ever!

I Hope Doug Ford's Lack of Morality Backfires on him one day.

I really like Wab Kinew!

[Spazito]

31. Wab Kinew is great!

He is Canada's first First Nations Premier! I was so happy to see him elected.

I loved it when he mocked trump and his 'executive orders'. It was perfect!

[Cha]

32. And, Wab Knew says it with a smile..applegrove posted this Presser

with him And, when I got my Political Crush on Wab Knew! 💙

15. He's a Trump level opportunist

Any scruples he ever had were evaporated by all the crack cocaine he hoovered while mayor. Sadly, the ambition part of his brain was spared. He’s as bad a human being as Trump.

[Spazito]

26. I agree, he is without any morals, ethics or concern for his constituents...

he is, unfortunately, smart enough to read the tealeaves and turn on trump, temporarily no doubt, in order to win the recent elections. I don't know why he has such a strong hold on Ontarians, I naively thought the land scandal would hurt him, obviously I was wrong.

[Bobstandard]

16. Despicable human being

Any scruples he ever had were evaporated by all the crack cocaine he hoovered while mayor. Sadly, the ambition part of his brain was spared. He’s as bad a human being as Trump.

13. 'The rats are everywhere!" Motto for these times.

Keeping the motto in upper mind is a survival strategy as well as a mantra to repeat while plotting strategies to get us out of this debacle.

Pass it on.

22. +1000

[GiqueCee]

17. After the shitshow...

... Ford inflicted on Toronto, I'm amazed that any rational Canadian ever voted for this dirtbag.

[Fords Crackpipe]

25. I know. Unbelievable yet here we are/

[Aaeia]

21. Thank you

Ford is truly a disreputable politico. He road into power on his dead brother's popularity as he's currently riding on Trudeau's. He's been selling prime pieces of Ontario to his wealthy buddies. There's a picture floating around with him wearing the magat regalia. He actually almost lost this election & has a lesser majority than he had before it even with bad weather. So this Ontarian thanks you for bringing this to attention. Do not trust him. He & the felon are too closely aligned.

[Fords Crackpipe]

24. Couldn't agree more!

[Aaeia]

34. Crack pipe

Yeah. Almost included he & his brother's Mississauga activities in their teens.

[Clouds Passing]

27. Cons gotta lie.

[Fords Crackpipe]

28. +1000

[AloeVera]

30. 100% True.

An opportunistic, shallow, deceiving, Trump-loving, corrupt right-wing Tory. Unfortunately my Premier.

Thanks for setting the record straight.
