"If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do anything, including cutting off their energy — with a smile on my face,"

"They need to feel the pain. They want to come at us hard? We've got to go back twice as hard," Ford continued.

Ford added his government is also prepared to implement a surcharge on every megawatt of energy states purchase from Ontario and "rip up" a $100-million deal with Elon Musk's Starlink internet company. The LCBO has already been directed to remove all American booze from its shelves if Trump moves ahead with his threats.

As a disgruntled American, please show the numbskies that have taken over our country that their actions can have actual tangible consequences. Everyone in power over here seems to just be shrugging their shoulders

Ford is an asshole, but occasionally he’s our asshole and that’s alright.
