Like Drump … this idiot is more bark than bite …
‘hey folks, I’m gonna kinda sorta maybe defend you … and even if I don’t, I’ll tell you that I did a year from now’
Conservative 101
I’ve voted against Doug Ford 3 times now, but saying he’s more bark than bite isn’t really true. He’s already directed the LCBO to pull American booze from shelves and cease new orders.
Did he ever rip up the Starlink contract?
EDIT: He did it!
He dropped it on the floor and bent over to pick it up and ripped open his pants instead
What’s a word that sounds like no, is spelled with the letters n and o and makes is defined in the dictionary as
“a way that shows a negative response”
So to answer your question, he did in fact not rip up that contract. Hopefully today he does rip it up.
Update: Ford has apparently ripped up the starlink contract with F’elon Musk ask his nazi party. Good!!
Isn’t Ford, like, the Donald Trump of Canada?
He’s more like Eric Adams. It happens to be that he’s a conservative suburbanite but his guiding principle is having power and making money, there’s no ideology mixed in
He’s usually coherent when he does his Tim’s product placement bits
He’s kind of old school corrupt conservative. He generally tends to stay away from anything socially conservative and just focuses on blatantly enriching himself. He’s been handling this whole situation really well though.
Not exactly. He’s actually gotten along great with Trudeau this whole time, so it’s fair to say the populist firebrand thing is an act for the cameras. His brother was the mayor of Toronto and started the whole dynasty (as far as I know), then died. One theory might be that the crazy was not shared.
The other conservative premiers have been taking a much more appeasment-y tack. The worst one is easily Danielle Smith. Poilievre (the federal conservative leader) also seems a bit lost about how to handle this.
Not at all, please don’t Americanize our politics
I mean, he is a big, blond blowhard that rams through culture war policies, so there’s similarities.

Do it! Show some backbone. Make us feel the consequences of stupid policies and maybe our leader might just shut the hell up.
No need to turn it off for good, 5 minutes every hour or two would be a good reminder
Not saying he shouldn’t do it, but the US would have the power back very quickly and Trump would spin it to his supporters as an act of aggression. I don’t think most of the people who temporarily get inconvenienced would see it as a wake up call. America is too far gone. I say that as an American from Michigan that lives in Canada.
This would mostly punish people who never wanted Trump in power. It’s a purely spiteful move, which in all honesty wouldn’t hurt Trump. The executive branch would just say not my problem.
What would you suggest we do instead?
I’m more than cool with everything else Canada is doing. It’s just that electricity is a necessity while most everything else is a want. People generally don’t focus on utilities when they think about economic health. Hit them where it hurts. Real estate, tesla, etc.
Possibly. Everyone is out for blood, which is a refreshing change from sticking our head in the sand like we have for so long, but being out for blood famously can also go too far.
The people actually in charge are taking a very balanced approach. For now, dollar-for-dollar tariffs are the only thing that’s for sure. The long list of other ways to fuck with the US are being held in reserve for a bit later.
We didn’t want this either but the biggest difference here is we didn’t get a choice.
