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

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 🙄

So Ontario backed off our electricity export tax after Ford was offered... a chance to have a discussion in Washington? Come on, we gotta be smarter than this.

President Trump’s latest tariffs are an attack on Canadian workers, families, and businesses. My government will ensure our response has maximum impact in the U.S. and minimal impact here in #Canada, while supporting the workers impacted. My government will keep our tariffs on until the Americans show us respect and make credible, reliable commitments to free and fair trade,” said Prime Minister-designate #MarkCarney
