[FONT=&quot]Blasting U.S. President Donald Trump for slapping an embargo on the shipment of crucial pandemic supplies to Canada, Premier Doug Ford says Americans should remember “united we stand, divided we fall.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“We’re stronger together than we are separated. In a major crisis, they want to cut everyone else off? That is totally unacceptable. Canadians wouldn’t do that,” Ford said Saturday at his Queen’s Park teleconference.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“When you sit back and you think of your allies and the wars we’ve gone through, and we’ve stood shoulder to shoulder fighting the same enemies. And now we have an enemy and we’re at war and they want to shut things down with their closest ally in the world?” he said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emphasized that Canada is “not looking at retaliatory measures or measures that are punitive” after Trump tightened restrictions to limit the export of 3M’s much-needed N95 masks and other medical equipment to combat COVID-19.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]While Ford said he agreed with Trudeau’s restraint and hoped diplomacy would prevail, the premier reminded Trump that about 1,000 nurses and other health-care workers live in Windsor and cross the border to work in Detroit every day.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“It shouldn’t come down to this. We have 1,000 nurses leaving Ontario that we’re in desperate need (of) going to help Americans,” he said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“How would the people in Michigan feel … if all of a sudden we said, ‘OK, the 1,000 nurses, we’re in desperate need and you need to stay here in Ontario and you aren’t going down to Michigan,’” warned Ford.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“That would be a wake-up call for them, but it shouldn’t come down to that. There’s no one that loves America more than I do. They’ve cut out one part of the family. It’s not right,” the premier said.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“When the cards are down, you see who your friends are, and I think it’s been very clear over the last couple of days who our friends are. You know who our friends are? Every Canadian, look in the mirror, that’s who are our friends are right now.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Alberta Premier Jason Kenney echoed Ford’s sentiment, saying Saturday that “as a Canadian, I’m insulted by the Trump administration’s attempt to stop vital medical supplies coming into Canada.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“This is not in anyone’s best interest, and it’s not how friends and neighbours treat each other when things get tough,” said Kenney.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]On Saturday, Ontario’s local public health units reported an increase of 393 confirmed and probable COVID-19 cases and 15 deaths, bringing the tally to 113 by the Star’s latest count. In Toronto, there was an increase of 101 cases since Friday.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Provincial officials warned Friday that 1,600 people could die in April if stricter physical distancing measures aren’t followed.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]With Trudeau promising “millions” of masks will be shipped to Canada within the next two days — and pointedly mentioning that Quebec would get an allotment of those — Ford said Ontario “would expect 40 per cent of the items” because the province is home to about 40 per cent of Canadians.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“I also hear the prime minister mention Quebec. I love (Quebec Premier) François Legault, but he should get his fair share, we should get our fair share, and the rest of the country should get their fair share,” he said, adding “I’ll be like a dog on a bone” to ensure that.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“I hope to God that they start dividing this up equally, because we’ve all been working well together.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Also Saturday, the Ontario government sent out its second emergency alert in a week, urging people to stay home to stop the spread of the coronavirus and “only go out if absolutely necessary to pick up groceries, prescriptions or go to a medical appointment.”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Ford emphasized supply chains are flowing and chided those who think they need to loot shuttered stores or restaurants for supplies.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“If … you have civil disobedience, it turns into anarchy and that’s unacceptable. We aren’t that type of people,” he said.[/FONT]

Never thought I’d clap for Ford, but this deserves major applause. Kenney in Alberta did similar I think. Both deserve credit for speaking out.

Totally agree! Ford gets it and is working collaboratively for Canada.

I got drawn into watching Trump's press conference yesterday - what a shit show that was and the consequences are so dire.

Trudeau sent China 16 tons of PPE on Feb. 9th when it could now be used in Canada. Why? China is where most of these masks are manufactured. Some countries believe it is stupid to play Mr. Nice Guy when your needs have to be met at home. If the ship is indeed going down, as the media porn keeps telling us. Then every country looks after their own needs first.

our first case was on Jan 15th, only an idiot would have sent it, which he did

we were told it was contained, by our idiots at the Canada Health Agency, Tam, Njoo

they did nothing for 6 or so weeks

they was a clip on CTV news, Avery Haines, with a guy from Oxford, explaining Canada's failure, again, letting the virus get a foothold, saying when you don't act, it's too late

his graph shows gov't response to the rate of cases, gov't response, flat for over 40 days, while cases rise like a ski slope

stupid to play stupid, Trudeau's actions

coming out of hiding everyday to tell us how much he cares, lol

Maybe it is "idiotic" to donate. And maybe, what comes around goes around.

https://globalnews.ca/news/6745817/china-donates-medical-supplies-canada/

I mean, during this time of crisis, look at all these "idiots" donating PPE! Right!

We go off on Trump when he attempts to convince 3M from sending masks to Canada, yet you are exactly like him if you are bitching about Trudeau sending medical supplies to China. People were dying, they had over 1.3 million confirmed, probably more. And you would turn your back on that because we had 1 case at the time?
China is an ally and they were in desperate need of help at that time. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Hear fucking hear, especially to those who do nothing more than camp in the threshold of authoritarian
ASSHOLI........ism. So.....do you admit to owning it also?
I FUCKING DOUBT IT!!
Well said Robert. Why does saving lives have to be politicized?????

Cuz some jerkoff redneck, makes it look funny to his base south of us and they say, "oh that's
cute he's so tough".


You wanna know why? Cuz we live in a world of stupid and people who love authoritarian
figureheads who are admitted Nationalists when that all went out with Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini etc.

Like it or not you liberal haters, this is the world we live in. which reminds me......
Trudeau is a fucking hack, same as that bloated orangutan south of us.
Only difference is he can't stand it and goes ape shit when someone calls him on his blunders.

Point the finger of blame ALWAYS on somebody else. Like the acting IG of the US, Oh, john you didn't
tell me she served in the last administration. Now you tell me. See this is the way the fake news works.
Unbelievable, the acting IG, Christy Graham worked for Bush, Clinton, Obama and trump. Appointed
by trump in January of this year. :pound: and is a career woman of just over twenty years
working in that department. And this president didnt even know who appointed her or when?

What a shit show indeed this president is making of the USA. How much you wanna bet this gal
is fired tmrw or the next day. As donald duck said to John Carl of NBC news, thank you for letting me know
who that is. You're a third rate reporter trump said to him and you'll never make it.

That's the president of the united states talking??? WTF?!?! You gotta be shitting me.
What a LOWLIFE ASSWIPE!!!

He even got upset with that female reporter today who said the IG reported that
some 300 plus hospitals are in dire need of supplies and have nowhere near enough.
Well, puppet hands trump got really upset, must be something about the Inspector General thing
that really triggers him, who btw, he just fired a few days before. Micheal Atkinson who forwarded
the whistle blower complaint to congress.

It really is incredible how he never misses a chance to blame anyone, especially the previous admin.
His best buddy, Obama. LOL!!! This fuckin asshole would never own a thing even if he was
caught red handed with the goods. He needs to be praised every second of his life, he is so thin skinned
he loses it everytime he hears someone or something that criticizes him.

How many of his "up to this time" administration has the monicker, "acting" attached to it?
or for that matter just been fired or in JAIL?????

70%, 80%? MORE?? :pound::pound::sad::sad::puke::tsk::tsk:

This is the president of the USA? Really? It's sad, very sad and no, it's not cute.
IT'S Sad for the man of the most powerful FREE nation on earth to act like this.


Why do you guys who support him bend to this CRAPOLA?!?!?!

You so butt blind cuz ur heads are up trumps ASS? I'm truly in awe of your support, no....... let's
make that obedience, no.......let's make that, Loyalty, no...........let's make that,

LET'S MAKE THAT.........STUPIDITY IN SPADES!!!!!!!

Why stupidity? Because he's pulling the wool over your eyes and disguising his whole ruse as
democracy, which it is NOT!!!! It's authoritarionism and he don't give a fuck about anyone
except for what he says is gospel.. Oh thee, the chosen one and we can't forget the
extremely stable genious bit! :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Think about that for awhile when you next think about the next 1000 people who die
of this virus because of his "having to have people respect his image".

I think trump doesn't even realize it but having these daily press conferences is
making it easier for people to see the true him. Makes me wanna puke.

I love it when the media squirms and he is proven to be right most of the time. He is doing such a bad job that the Democrats want to put a stop to his press conferences. What is it they are afraid he is going to say?
