Ontario Premier Doug Ford lashed out at U.S. President Donald Trump, blasting the embattled president for re-imposing “backstabbing” aluminum tariffs on Canada in a surprise move this week.

“We’re their number one trading partner in the world. We buy more goods off the United States than China, Japan, and the U.K. combined,” Ford said at his daily briefing with reporters on the COVID-19 situation. “And who does this in times like this? Who tries to go after your closest ally, your closest trading partner, your number one customer in the entire world?”

Ford encouraged Ontarians to preferentially buy Canadian-made products at grocery stores, hardware stores and elsewhere and said Ontario will look to ramp up its local production capacity. “We're Team Ontario. We're Team Canada. Get out there and buy Ontario-made products. We will kick their butts all over the place,” Ford said.

You might as well have grade 3 year olds talking
