On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Ezra discussed how Canadian politicians' combative approach to President Trump's tariffs might only ignite increasing hostilities.
Following President Trump's imposition of 25% tariffs on Canadian goods and 10% tariffs on energy that came into effect Tuesday, Prime Minister Trudeau boldly called the economic measures "dumb."
Trudeau cites the Wall Street Journal as he tells Trump tariffs are "a very dumb thing to do."

Trudeau also repeatedly referred to the president of the United States as "Donald," likely in an attempt to antagonize the president.
In an apparent attempt at seeming 'tough', former finance minister and Liberal leadership candidate Chrystia Freeland also previously claimed that President Trump's nickname for her is "killer."
Furthermore, Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced on Tuesday that the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) would be removing all American products from its shelves in response to President Trump's tariffs.

Ford also announced that he would be "ripping up" Ontario's $100M contract with Elon Musk's Starlink, as Musk is now a close ally of the president.
President Trump's commerce secretary Howard Lutnick has stated that the president could scale back tariffs on Canada as early as today.

Without this situation, the Liberals would most certainly have been turfed from office. Now, thanks to this malarkey, we’ll never be rid of them. PET did much the same thing. -
Bruce Atchison commented 2025-03-05 18:45:04 -0500Nothing like putting out the fire with gasoline. Even Pierre Poilievre is being sucked into wanting to fight America. But Trump could easily take our country. It’s only by America’s suffrage that we exist at all.

Robert Pariseau commented 2025-03-05 18:18:34 -0500There was never any intention of good faith by Skippy or the premiers. The intention was always to come up with an excuse to delay and election.
Guess who doesn’t pay for it?
