Doug Ford’s government vows to ‘protect Ontario’ from Donald Trump’s tariffs with record $232.5B budget

Woe Canada, Ontario claims to stand on guard for thee.

With the economy battered by U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war and unemployment rising, Premier Doug Ford’s government has tabled a record $232.5-billion provincial budget to “protect Ontario” and promote national unity.

“When all of Canada wins, Ontario wins,” Finance Minister Peter Bethlenfalvy said Thursday in a boosterish speech that noted “it is amazing to witness the burst of patriotism across our province and our great country” in the face of Trump’s tariffs.
