Speaking Monday at a mining convention in downtown Toronto, Ontario Premier Doug Ford doubled down on threats to cut electricity exports to U.S. border states if the tariffs go through.

You know, everyone here is basically saying Ford is pro-Trump and this is fake, but I'd like to point out he has gotten along really well with Trudeau behind closed doors, and he has a fresh mandate that would allow him to not say this if he wanted. He's a transphobe IIRC and definitely a blowhard, but maybe he's on the right side this time.

I am not a Ford fan, but I do trust his motives. He doesn't want the US to destroy us because he wants to continue enriching himself and his friends. Trade wars are bad for capitalism. He is a capitalist. Free trade is good at making people rich. Trade wars are not.

So no, I don't think Ford is pro-Trump. He's pro-profit and when Trump was all about business, he supported some of what Trump said, now that Trump has shown he is anti-business, Ford is against him.

There is no doubt in my mind.
