Doug Ford Blasts Trump Over 50% Tariffs on $20 Billion in Canadian Goods

Summary
Doug Ford sharpened Canada’s public response Monday, saying Trump could “kiss my a--” after the U.S. imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods and threatened more duties on autos, parts and steel.
The dispute is now running on two tracks: the new tariffs took effect Aug. 22, while Trump has separately threatened 50% tariffs on Canadian autos and auto parts starting Jan. 1, 2027.
Mark Carney said the tariffs will raise costs for consumers, and Canada is set to retaliate on Sept. 8 as trade talks with Washington have collapsed.
Trump answered with personal attacks on Ford and fresh pressure on Canada, accusing it of exploiting the U.S., citing alleged 400%-plus farm tariffs and even floating renaming Lake Ontario “Lake America.”
