Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford's trip to Washington amidst the provincial election has stirred controversy among political rivals. Critics argue that this trip, aimed at combating Trump’s threatened tariffs, is an inappropriate use of his office, designed to enhance his electoral appeal. Other party leaders, including Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie, have accused Ford of neglecting his responsibilities under the caretaker convention during an election. Despite the backlash, Ford insists his mission is to ensure Ontario's interests are represented and maintains that he is committed to his role as premier.
Doug Ford says he will remain on duty as premier and to fight Trump's tariff threats, even as he fights for re-election.
Ford should have done more ahead of the tariff threats to build bonds with American decision-makers.
