Ford only has partnerships with his developer buddies.
I wonder, did he treat Olivia Chow much differently? Did he ask what she thought when he messed with her city?
So he’s mad he didn’t get a cut. Guess he’ll just have to continue pillaging just Ontario’s tax dollars for personal gain.
Oh my god, will he ever shut up about this?
Ford needs to stay in his lane.
Sound like he’s just upset at the miss opportunity to funnel money to his buddies.
That’s the difference between a Premier and Prime Minister. Carney has to look at Canada in its entirety, the political and economic landscape and the Liberal party calculus. Ford, he’s got Ontario and in reality, mostly the GTA and southern region to focus on.
It’s 3% of the market and EVs are not even produced in Ont.
Calm the fuck down. JFC.
For fuck sakes, put it to rest already Dougie
I am beyond excited for the Press Conference where Doug Ford drives a BYD into a wall and then gets out and pours Crown Royal over the mangled wreckage.
Makes me think of when Ford released the Reagan quote commercial that pissed off The Orange King without telling the Feds and they then had to deal with the subsequent tantrum. That partnership? I write this comment from a hospital waiting room in Ontario, thinking about more hospital beds instead of a giant tunnel under Toronto to reduce traffic. I wonder if Ford knows he’s Premier of Ontario and not just the Super Mayor of Toronto…
Is that like how others found out about his commercials, or his land deals or…
The same Doug Ford who refused to kill the Ronald Reagan ad as soon as Carney asked him to, this a rich reaction from him.
I think that Carney didn’t give him more of a heads-up because he didn’t trust Ford to be discrete .
Oh no competition might make prices affordable and cant price fix anymore. Whatever will we do!
No consultation??!! This is right out of the Ford playbook. I guess he gets to know how it feels now.
Ford, don’t be greedy – it’s only 3%. This is good for the rest of Canada.
Ford should be working more with Asian industries rather than putting all of his eggs in the US basket. Time for him to get outside of his comfort zone.
Calm down Dougie
Overreaction by Ford. 49,000 vehicles isn’t exactly a huge number compared to how many new vehicles are sold annually.
Shut up Dougie
Whatever our auto industry is fucked anyway
It is a good deal; now work on plants to produce them domestically. Stellantis proved reliable…
Ford is deaf. Us consumers are happy about this yet he is the one complaining.
49000 cars = ~ $1.5B for either of the countries running trillion dollar economies. It’s a drop in the bucket and people need to stop losing their mind over it.
I’m mad that we won’t see BYD and other brands for a couple of years. The first 49K vehicles will probably be just Chinese-made Teslas and Polestars and will not have any downward pressure on the EV prices here.
Doug this did not surprise anyone, quit being a drama queen.
The deal is for 49,000 cars to enter Canada’s market, I also believe that a portion of them need to be made in Canada.
Shouldn’t he be jumping up and trying to attract contracts?
what else does he want? how long before it was announced was the deal even agreed to?
i’d be shocked if it was settled as much as 24h before it was announced, and then consider the time difference between EST and Beijing … from what I can see the deal was announced here on friday afternoon which is like 5-6AM in Beijing, seems to me deal was likely ‚finalized‘ the previous afternoon, given that Carney only landed there 2 days earlier… and besides all that, anyone who has paid attention to this knew what the bargain would have to be before the PMO even announced the trip.
im glad this dichotomy of Ontario governing party/Federal government party has held up(when one is Liberal the other is Conservative)… but fuck me, ive been sick of Doug since before covid
Sorry Doug we can’t have this conversation while you’re on vacation until March, need you to come back into the office so we can look you in the eye while you complain about missing out on new opportunities to screw us over.
Nobody want’s to hear this drunk uncle’s opinion around the dinner table on holidays, let alone on federal matters.
Doug Ford: Canada needs to stick together
Also Doug Ford: This deal does not benefit provinces named Ontario. This is a bad deal.
Someone really got whipped by Trump after defying him with the ad campaign. Come on Doug, we liked you better as the defiant hoser to the Orange Menace, than this bent over version taking it on both ends with the MAGA crowd.
How about you worry about the crumbling education and health care in Ontario. You know, provincial matters? Let’s leave the smarter adults to deal with foreign trade.
All those EV factories in Ontario are going to close now /s
If you are worried 49k cars are going to sink your entire industry then your industry is crappy and needs to go.
