00:00:00.000 Dare I call it a charm offensive by Doug Ford south of the border? 0.98

00:00:03.600 I mean, here's a guy who has taken many, many shots at Trump, calling him a tyrant, a bully.

00:00:11.900 It seems like every opportunity he gets, he takes a shot at the president. 0.85

00:00:15.940 He goes down to Washington, D.C., meets with a few people, probably all Democrats or maybe a couple of rhinos in there.

00:00:23.100 But given an opportunity to do the same thing on CNN, he didn't do it. 0.73

00:00:28.860 he didn't take the opportunity to call trump any names or anything like that instead he focused on

00:00:34.780 the same thing that the feds have been talking about which is fortress north america

00:00:39.020 let's build on what we've had in the past what's happened to doug ford i think perhaps doug ford

00:00:45.580 has realized just how much ontario especially the auto sector is dependent on america and you know

00:00:52.700 i would even add to in terms of the carny liberals and doug ford and how all of them have been

00:00:57.340 treating this situation with the elbows up rhetoric at the end of the day the truth has always been

00:01:02.380 the truth and that is that canada is very dependent on america that's not a bad thing

00:01:07.420 either in fact it has helped our economy grow substantially for many many decades it's been a

00:01:12.620 win-win-win for everybody in most regards um and you know the fact that the u.s accounts for 70

00:01:20.460 of exports and i was also reading just a few days ago that toyota as an example they have been in

00:01:25.260 in the government lobby registry, because they've been lobbying for a USMCA deal, because that is

00:01:31.500 absolutely everything to them. And so, you know, you can play tough guy all you want. But at the

00:01:36.980 end of the day, the truth is always going to come and slap you in the face. Yeah, I mean,

00:01:41.180 the strategy up to now, which is to attack Trump at every opportunity has failed miserably. And

00:01:48.480 he's kept it up for months, months and months. I was wondering when he was finally going to dawn

00:01:54.020 on him that this was a failed strategy that had to had to be changed now trump is no fool he's

00:02:00.520 going to see that there has been a change i don't know if he's going to respond necessarily he may

00:02:05.340 he may not or maybe he's just going to continue to ignore doug ford but uh he did not get any

00:02:10.880 opportunities to meet with anybody remotely associated with the trump administration now

00:02:17.120 He said, well, no, I'm leaving that up to the feds.

00:02:19.980 You know, I'll let Carney and his people meet with the Trump administration.

00:02:26.060 But the fact is nobody in Trump's entourage or close to him had any interest in talking to Doug Ford at all.
