Ontario Premier Doug Ford, dubbed ‘Captain Canada,’ launched a blistering and profane attack on President Donald Trump as a trade war intensified between the two nations, with Ford declaring, ‘He can kiss my a– as far as I’m concerned. We’re going to go at him full steam, and we buy 400% more cars than anyone in the world.’ This fiery response comes after Trump threatened new tariffs on Canadian autos, auto parts, and steel, escalating the ongoing tariff fight which sees new U.S. tariffs on certain Canadian goods already in effect and Canada poised for retaliation. Trump, in turn, mocked Ford, comparing him unfavorably to his late brother, and accused Canada of exploiting the U.S. for decades, threatening further economic pressure and even suggesting renaming Lake Ontario ‘Lake America.’ The escalating dispute, rooted in past tariff threats and political jabs, highlights a deep rift between the longtime allies as both sides dig in their heels on trade policy.
