I built a commercial building in 2018-2019 and got killed with the Trump tariffs back then because Canada retaliated. Ordered a steel building from Ohio, ended up going 25% over budget directly because of steel tariffs.

I work at Dofasco and we are not going anywhere. I think only about 25% of our steel goes to the USA. Not sure how a big tariff would effect us since most of our steel stays here and goes into Canadian built cars and trucks.

except...
Canadian built cars and trucks are subjected to 25% tariffs too. It's a snowball effect to all industries involved.

As much as I LOATHE Thug Ford, he seems to be the only one who is willing to go toe to toe with oompa loompa.
Unfortunately he will not be getting my vote should he call an early election and the state of our health care system.
I am not here to pretend I understand every detail to how we got here, especially on healthcare. But putting blame solely on Ford here misses the mark imo, what about importing millions of people here irresponsibly thanks to the federal government, these are the same people who are putting additional stress on our services...

but without those "importing millions of people here", you probably would not have enjoyed the benefits by selling homes and cashing in on the commissions you've earned.
The 200$ rebate cheque costs the province 3$ billion, which could have been used towards other pressing needs and whereas Ford already has a majority government until June 2026. Plus another approximately 1.3$ billion on expediting booze into the gas stations and corner stores instead of letting the contract to run its course. Also, this election that's happening now, it's going to cost us another 176$ million to call for an election. If I was the financial officer, working for a company and I'd probably call out on wasteful spending and probably demand some accountability.
That's just at the top of my head of his wasteful spending which could have been used towards the resources that the provinces sorely needs. Did you know that the PC spent far more in deficit than the Liberal party that we had previously?

How many of those new to Canada folks are purchasing homes? I'm guessing not many at all.
