Ontario Premier Doug Ford Folds: “We’d be willing to take those off tomorrow if he took all the tariffs off”


It’s Liberation Day in America!

Happy April 2nd, a day that will go down in history!

President Trump is doing what no other politician has had the guts to do ever, which is to simply make sure the rest of the world treats us fairly.

We export billions of dollars of aid all over the planet and what do we get in exchange?

Tariffs on our products.

We’ve been taken advantage of very badly for decades and it stops today.

President Trump is not taking revenge, he’s setting up reciprocity!  What a concept!

And already countries are caving, folding like cheap suits.

Israel caved a day before Liberation Day:

BREAKING: Israel Drops All Tariffs On U.S. Goods, But I Have One Major Question…

My mind is still blown that we've been sending them approximately $3 billion of aid each year for over 50 years and in exchange we got tariffs on our products into their country?

That really pisses me off.

Today though it's Canada.

Remember loud-mouth Ontario Premier Doug Ford?

Remember all the bluster he was talking all last month about how he was going to cripple the USA?

Here he is on CNBC with his tail between his legs saying they'd love to remove their unfair tariffs today if possible:

JUST IN: Canada says they will remove ALL tariffs if US does so too:

"Let's sit down and discuss this... We’d be willing to take those off tomorrow if he took all the tariffs off. We are not the problem. China is the problem… We don't want tariffs.,. We’re going to take these tariffs off in the next minute if he said he’s taking their tariffs off." — Ontario Premier Doug Ford

FULL TRANSCRIPT:

Let's sit down and discuss this because it's just going to hurt American jobs.
I can't stress it enough. And you know, again, he believes he's supporting Americans.
He said he was going to create jobs, create wealth, reduce inflation.

It's worked the total opposite.
But do you think it's fair that you have tariffs on a whole number of products?
That's right. And we'd be willing to take those off tomorrow if he took all the tariffs off.

We are not the problem, Andrew. Do you know what the problem is?
China's the problem.
And he's taking a blind eye to China as they continue to build their critical mineral mass.

We have all the critical minerals that our great neighbors need.
We have the energy that our great neighbors need.
I just want to go back for a moment.
If, in fact, you're prepared to take your tariffs off, why wouldn't you have that negotiation and that conversation now before any tariffs get put in place?

Well, we've had this conversation for over the last month.
We don't want tariffs. We have another sixty-five billion dollars' worth of tariffs to launch today.
That's the last thing we want to do because, it's just, again, it's going to hurt both countries.

It's going to hurt American workers. That's the last thing I want.
Anderman, take the other ones off—not the ones you're launching today, the ones that you already got.
You're saying you take all your tariffs off? I'm saying we will take them off.

That's right.
Why is that not—I guess my question is, why has all of that not already happened?
And does President Trump know that you'd be prepared to do that?

He knows, and Secretary Lepnick knows that we're willing to take these tariffs off, like, in the next minute if he said he's taking their tariffs off.
Let's look at the auto—

Sorry Doug, that's a little something we call "too little, too late".

In fact, I hope and pray that it's "too little, too late" for everyone, regardless of what they do at this point.

These countries have had 50 years to treat us fairly.

You don't get to abuse us for 50+ years then wait until literally the day tariffs go into place and then say "just joking about all of that, let's just take tariffs off both sides, no harm no foul, ok buddy?"

Sorry, life doesn't work like that.

You get one chance in life to do the right thing and that chance EXPIRES after you've been busted.

Let me put it to you in a simpler way....

Let's say your an Executive at a Bank and you start stealing from the bank, just a little bit every week.  Theft.  Fraud.  Cheating the people who trust you.  Over the years, the Bank gives you raises, puts you in charge of more responsibility.  In turn, you steal more and more.  50 years go by and you've stolen millions upon millions over that time.  You're living the good life at the expense of the bank and its shareholders.  After 50 years, the Bank finally catches you and says they're going to press charges for 50 years of theft.

Now at this point, you say "Sorry Bank, I'll stop stealing now.  Let's just call it all good, ok?  No harm, no foul.  I'll retire, you don't press charges, and we'll just say that squares us up because we're Even Stevens going forward, ok buddy?"

No one in their right mind would agree to that deal with the Bank Executive, but that's what the entire world is asking President Trump to do.

Sorry folks, the grift is over.

The USA piggy bank is CLOSED.

I hope President Trump leaves these tariffs in place and the External Revenue Service can get very rich!

Make America RICH Again!

Then close down the IRS.
