BREAKING: Doug Ford FIRES BACK at Trump’s Canada tariffs by cutting U.S. companies out of Ontario contracts — and ripping up its Starlink deal.

A petulant Donald Trump wants a trade war with Canada. Now, Ontario Premier Doug Ford just showed him exactly what that actually costs.

Responding to Trump's new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, Ford announced Ontario is banning all U.S.-based companies from participating in the province's government procurement contracts, effective immediately.

This isn't small change: Ontario and its agencies spend approximately $30 billion annually on procurement, layered on top of a massive $200 billion infrastructure plan. American businesses just lost access to tens of billions of dollars in potential revenue.

"They only have President Trump to blame," Ford said bluntly.

But Ford didn't stop there. In a move dripping with well-deserved symbolism, Ontario is completely tearing up its contract with Starlink — Elon Musk's satellite internet company. "It's done, it's gone," Ford declared.

The message is unmistakable: Ontario isn't interested in enriching companies tied to an administration actively waging economic war against Canadian workers and families.

"We won't award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country," Ford said.

And Ford isn't going it alone. He's calling on all 444 municipalities across Ontario to adopt the same procurement ban, with cities like Brampton, led by Mayor Patrick Brown, already stepping up to join the fight.

This is shaping up as a coordinated, province-wide — and potentially nationwide — economic response, with Ford explicitly framing it as part of "Team Canada's" opening salvo against Trump's tariffs.

Let's be clear about what's happening here.

Trump picked this fight, hitting Canadian goods with punishing tariffs over shifting, often contradictory justifications, from wildfire smoke to retaliatory grievances over alcohol sales.

Ontario isn't backing down or begging for mercy. It's hitting back, strategically and forcefully, by cutting American companies out of tens of billions in Canadian taxpayer dollars.

Trump wanted Canada to come "running back," as he put it. Instead, he's getting a united, defiant response that's going to cost American businesses dearly.

And meanwhile, who is going to ultimately pay that 50% tariff on imported Canadian goods? American consumers, that’s who.

There goes Trump, driving up inflation once again

By abusing the term terrorism so much, the US has watered down its meaning, to now only means anybody the person using the term doesn't like. It has no longer any relation to the actions of the persons, organizations or countries the term is assigned to.

Labeling political opponents as "violent left-wing extremism" while convening global meetings turns counterterrorism into a political tool rather than a serious security effort.

What did you expect, America?

What did you expect when your administration launched a trade war and hit our nation with completely unnecessary tariffs?

What did you expect from your once closest ally, the very nation that rushed to your side on 9/11?

Did you forget Operation Yellow Ribbon, when Canadians opened their homes to house and feed over 33,000 stranded passengers from 239 diverted American flights?

What did you expect when we bleedingly stood by you in Afghanistan, sacrificing Canadian soldiers and civilians in your longest war?

Did you think Canadians would just lie down when there was absolutely no recognition of our sovereignty?

What did you expect when the White House trolled us on social media, calling Canada a "51st state" and labeling a Prime Minister a "future governor"?

What did you expect our response would be?

And how your Fox media and MAGA supporters claim we need the U.S. for protection.

Let us be clear: Canada NEVER once asked you for protection. We are EQUAL partners sharing the sky through NORAD, yet you allow these lies to keep spinning.

What did you expect when your ambassador, Pete Hoekstra, chose to amplify the offensive "51st state" insult online, later dismissing it as just a "great discussion"?

What did you expect when your administration arrogantly declared they "don't need anything Canada has"?

So, what did you expect when we decided to fight back?

We did not break; we stood our ground....

What did you expect when we banned your goods from our shelves and began our pivot away from your nation to forge new, trustworthy partnerships globally and reaffirm our trustworthy NATO allies?

After many years of loyal alliance, it seems Canada did more for you than you ever did for us....

Now that Canada is moving forward without you, we leave you with one final question:

- What did you expect?

The guys who most complained about wearing masks during Covid now wear bigger ones to intimidate people and to hide their identities.
Effing cowards and hypocrites . Shame on all of these racist asswipes

Trump’s election integrity squads are right out of Putin’s handbook. ICE has no business at polls during elections. They would be there for intimidation purposes. Stop this incursion into voter’s rights.

BREAKING🚨 A man was choked to death by ICE guards and DHS hid his body at a military base to block the autopsy.

His name was Geraldo Lunas Campos. When the county medical examiner finally performed an autopsy, the conclusion was devastatingly clear: his death was ruled a homicide.

But here is the detail that should make your blood run cold.

When another man recently died at that exact same ICE facility, DHS didn't call the local medical examiner. Instead, they moved his body to a nearby U.S. Army base.

And that Army base is now flat-out refusing to release the results of the autopsy.

This was revealed by Senator Dick Durbin in a horrifying congressional hearing about the explosion of deaths in ICE custody under the Trump administration.

At least 17 people have already died in ICE custody in just the first three months of this year alone. Many of them died from easily treatable illnesses.

911 logs show ICE facilities are completely overwhelmed, ignoring basic human rights.

But moving a body to a military installation to dodge a local homicide investigation? That isn't just negligence. That is a coordinated, state-sponsored cover-up.

They are operating mass detention facilities with zero accountability. They are treating human beings like they are disposable. And when their guards cross the line, they use the full weight of the federal military apparatus to hide the evidence.

We are watching human rights abuses happen on American soil, funded by our tax dollars. We must demand the autopsy report.

Share this. Do not let them sweep these deaths under the rug.

He bulldozed the East Wing. You’ve said nothing.

He’s interfered with the release of the Epstein files. You’ve said nothing.
He took over the Kennedy Center, even renaming it after himself. You’ve said nothing.
He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You’ve said nothing.

He’s threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil. You’ve said nothing.
He’s tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You’ve said nothing.
He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 little girls in its first days. You’ve said nothing.
He’s alienated and insulted more countries than I can keep track of. You’ve said nothing.

His ICE Army is terrorizing and murdering U.S. citizens. You've said nothing.
He has committed murder on the high seas. You've said nothing.
He's co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You've said nothing.

You've not only said nothing to all of these egregious acts, and many more, but you have also enabled them.
And it’s only been a year.
Hey, Republican Congressmen, you took an oath, remember?
Not to him. To the Constitution.

It’s time to do your fucking jobs!

The White House deleted this embarrassing video. So whatever you do- * DON'T REPOST IT. * Donald wouldn't like it if you hit "repost."

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

@xray_media @SenSanders In the St. Louis area, they seem to be trying to put a data center on every corner. There is a possibility of two within a 10 mile radius and other companies are attempting to develop around that area. WHY so many in an area? Regulations necessary.

[Conv @conv51]

Does anyone question the need for Data Centers on every corner in the U.S.? Again no plan! This is one of the many reasons for regulations.

[Conv @conv51]

Trump started the war with Iran without any input from NATO countries. If he wanted their participation he should have included them in the planning.
(If there was any planning on anyone’s part except Netanyahu)

@CNN Putting back a toppled Columbus statue is not about history, it is about power using symbolism to pick a fight on purpose. When leaders focus this hard on monuments, it usually means they know outrage is easier to manage than real problems.
