The U.S. administration keeps doing Canada’s negotiating team a favour: every time one of them opens their mouth, they prove exactly why Canada walked away. At some point, the rhetoric stops being negotiation and starts confirming that signing a deal with these people would have been reckless.

Doug Ford and his party are of the main reasons post-secondary is being gutted in Ontario. Ontario colleges have cut $1.4 billion in costs, suspended more than 600 programs, and eliminated more than 8,000 jobs. Ford doesn’t actually care. 😡
