Ontario premier hopes US Republicans lose House and Senate
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says hopes U.S. President Donald Trump’s Republicans lose control of both the House and Senate in the midterm elections, saying the vote could deliver a political rebuke over Trump’s escalating trade war with Canada. Ford has emerged as one of Trump’s most outspoken Canadian critics, accusing him of trying to strip industry out of Ontario and move it south of the border as the two trade personal insults and threats.
Ford’s comments came two days after Washington escalated the dispute by banning some Canadian dairy products and motorcycles and most alcoholic beverages after Canadian retaliatory tariffs took effect on about $20 billion in U.S. goods.
