Ford Fires Back at Trump with Plan to Boost Canadian Economy

Canada's Premier Doug Ford is calling for accelerated economic growth in response to the failed US-Canada trade deal. He warns that workers and businesses hit by President Donald Trump's tariffs need greater support.

Ford believes Canada must unlock its 'true potential' by speeding up approvals for major infrastructure and resource projects, as well as lowering taxes to boost investment and competitiveness.

This push comes as Ottawa and the provinces face growing pressure from US tariffs and uncertainty over the future of Canada-US trade. Ford's comments are aimed at making Canada more self-reliant within the G7.
