TORONTO — Ontario Premier Doug Ford has no regrets about being a pain to the Trump administration.
“We achieved our goal. As we say, ‘mission accomplished,’” Ford told reporters at the Ontario Legislature in Toronto on Monday. “They’re talking about it in the U.S., and they weren’t talking about it before I put the ad on. I’m glad that Ronald Reagan was a free trader.”
Ford, Canada’s most successful populist politician, has stolen the spotlight from Prime Minister Mark Carney as the country’s most outspoken crusader against President Donald Trump’s trade war.

“I spoke to every single premier — they’re on side,” Ford said about reactions he’s received to the ad. “Their exact words … ‘Don’t stop. Keep fighting for Canada.’”
