7 h. ago Doug Ford tells Trump U.S. will 'feel the pain' when Canada responds to tariffs

Ontario Premier Doug Ford came out swinging on NBC News today in the wake of the latest news that U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose 25 per cent tariffs on Canada as early as Tuesday March 4th. Ford blamed the impending economic 'disaster' squarely on Trump and predicted U.S. workers and consumers would 'feel the pain', that assembly plants in Michigan would close and there would be layoffs in the manufacturing sector. Ford also suggested the U.S. stock market would "go downhill faster than the American  bobsled team."The Ontario response will be strong, said Ford, and include the province imposing restrictions on critical minerals, halting sales of U.S. alcohol products and shutting down "electricity going down to the U.S."U.S. markets are already tanking. American plants and assembly lines will close. Americans will pay more for everything.For the sake of the American people, President Trump needs to pull back his tariffs. pic.twitter.com/FAy0ctvujF&md...

3 d. ago Toronto neighbourhood shaming businesses suing over bike lanes

Bike lanes have proven to be an extremely divisive topic in Ontario, especially in Toronto, where Premier Doug Ford is going as far as removing select cycle tracks to convert lanes back to mixed-use traffic, reversing multiple years and millions of dollars of worth of construction work led by the City.As various groups continue to express strong support for or oppposition against Ford's plans, one group of 40-odd businesses is taking their dissent with the infrastructure type to a new level, launching a lawsuit against the City over its ever-growing cycling network.But, a few days after the legal action became public, there is already some backlash from members of the community.A statement of claim filed with the Superior Court of Justice on February 21 alleges that the City and its transportation manager "manipulated the public consultation process to minimize opposition and exaggerate support" for new bike lanes along Bloor Street West, and ...

Doug Ford made his stand against Donald Trump's tariffs a cornerstone of his platform as he sought — and won — re-election as premier, and among other steps the province plans to take if and when the levies come into effect, it seems the Ontario leader is on board withone strategic piece of legislation.Tim Houston, Ford's Nova Scotian counterpart, has just floated The Free Trade and Mobility within Canada Act, a new set of trade-related regulations meant to help foster the Canadian economy after Trump slams all Canadian imports with 25 per cent duties next week.Under the rules, Nova Scotia will treat all goods from elsewhere in Canada as if they were produced locally, "eliminating any additional fees or testing requirements" that presently exist.Likewise, professionals accredited in other provinces will be treated as if they were licenced in Nova Scotia, "ensuring that businesses providing services can operate across provincial borders witho...

3 d. ago Toronto is renovating two bridges with bike lanes and here's what they will look like

In spite of Premier Doug Ford's anti-bike lane sentiments and legislation, the City of Toronto is moving to transform a number of streets to better prioritize pedestrians and cyclists under the assumption that so long as no traffic lanes are removed during the revamps, the projects won't be subject to the province's new Reducing Gridlock, Saving You Time Act.Among the numerous kilometres of roadway eyed for the new infrastructure are two bridges due to be replaced to help prevent flooding in the Rockcliffe-Smythe neighbourhood, which is designated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA) as one of the most at-risk for river overflows and backups during storms.The two viaducts, which are 1960s-era and cross over Black Creek at Jane Street and Scarlett Road, will be reconstructed and increased in height as nearby flood channels are expanded and the surrounding land is stabilized.At the same time, the roadways will also be widened, and ...

3 d. ago Here's Doug Ford's Ontario election victory speech and plans for his third term

Doug Ford was re-elected for his third term as Premier of Ontario on Thursday night, evoking mixed reactions across the province.The Progressive Conservative (PC) party's third consecutive majority victory is certainly a rare one — a feat not seen since 1959 — and also took place during the first winter election the province has had in 44 years.Despite public uproar regarding Ford's many scandals over his tenure, only 45 per cent of eligible residents turned out to have their say in the snap vote, which was called just 29 days prior to election day.The result was disappointing to many in downtown Toronto, which appears on result maps as a mosaic of NDP orange and Liberal red amid the sea of PC blue that dominated the vast majority of the rest of southern Ontario.Greeting his constituents right after the win, Ford, jubilant and relieved, repeatedly thanked the crowd for their cheers and applause before commenting on the evening.Doug Ford re-elected Pre...
