A Nation at Defiance: Canada Pushes Back Against US Trade Bullying Ontario Premier Doug Ford has reignited a threat to cut off energy supplies to the United States, declaring that Canada could "dismantle" its southern neighbor if necessary.
This stark warning was made as Canadian premiers gathered in Prince Edward Island for their annual summer meeting, signaling that Ottawa's patience with Washington's aggressive trade tactics has worn thin.
Ford's remarks are less about grandstanding than they are a reflection of growing frustration among Canadian leaders at being repeatedly taken advantage of by their American counterparts.
