#CANADA - Ford says he had 'very, very productive' meeting with top Trump trade official in Washington

> Ontario Premier Doug Ford left an hours-long meeting with U.S. Commerce Secretary #HowardLutnick and Canadian federal officials

> Asked if he's prepared to put his 25 per cent tax on U.S.-bound electricity back on, Ford didn't answer as he hopped into a waiting black SUV.

He was left on the hospital floor for hours. His family has lodged a complaint with Ontario’s Patient Ombudsman. It’s just one of thousands.

> The Patient Ombudsman’s 2023-24 annual report reveals a record 4,429 complaints, the highest since its 2016 inception.

Yet people voted for a third term for Doug Ford.

Because he's a good TV personality? SMDH

Apparently Trump has called Doug Ford a “very strong man”. Someone has explained to Trump how to manipulate Ford; you pretend to take him seriously, make him think he’s smart and he will be putty in your hands. #OnPoli

Who is surprised that it’s Ford who played into Trump’s hand, played his game, and then blinked first? Not I. Who needs enemies with someone like Ford on our side?

Of course here in Alberta we’ve got Smith, who’s off to share a podium with Shapiro 🙄
