Doug Ford says premiers and U.S. governors had a ‘lovefest' in Boston
Against the backdrop of U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war with Canada, premiers and state governors held a 'lovefest' in Boston. Ontario Premier Doug Ford and his counterparts from the Atlantic provinces were stateside Monday to underscore that subnational leaders on both sides of the border are singing from the same songbook. Provincial Politics Doug Ford returning to U.S. to fight Donald Trump's tariffs Premier Doug Ford and his counterparts from the Atlantic provinces are headed stateside to 'We're all working together. It's a lovefest in the room and there's a mixture of everyone in the room,' Ford told CNN's Pamela Brown and Wolf Blitzer, referring to the confab with Democratic and Republican governors. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'And we just want to get things back on track and move forward. We're just two great countries, great trading partners. Let's move forward, because everyone in that room knows Canadians love Americans,' he said. Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said the trade war is affecting her state's vital life sciences sector. 'Because of tariffs, we're seeing disruptions in supply chains to things that actually make that industry go here,' said Healey, adding Canadian tourism to northeastern U.S. states has plunged 20 to 60 per cent. Canada Trips from Canada to the U.S. plummeted by nearly a million in March compared to last year Travel from Canada into the U.S. continued to crater in March as Canadians boycott U.S. tourism 'It would be crazy for there not be a resolution.' Ford — who is doing another media blitz with U.S. cable news channels to lobby against hefty tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and autos — said 'a lot of the governors are saying it's insulting' when Trump talks about Canada becoming the 51st state. 'It's insulting to your closest friend and allies. We love the U.S. I love the U.S. Canadians love Americans. There's one person that is causing this issue, and that's President Trump,' he said. Indeed, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told reporters 'these are relationships that have now been damaged because of rhetoric out of Washington.' ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Canada Donald Trump reinforces threats of tariffs, Canada as 51st state on eve of Doug Ford's latest trip to Washington 'They have to become the 51st state,' the U.S. president told a Republican governors' dinner Hochul did not mince words when discussing Trump's levies on Canadian goods. 'How do you spell tariff? It is nothing more than a T-A-X tax — and Americans need to know that this is a tax on everything they buy. It hurts our competitiveness and we stand to lose hundreds of thousands of jobs if these truly go into effect as envisioned,' she warned. 'So I always want to call out what this is all about as well as condemning the insults to our Canadian friends.' Vermont Gov. Phil Scott pointed out half of the energy used in his state comes from Canada and called for more nuclear power — something Ontario would like to supply as the province builds four small modular reactors at its Darlington nuclear generating station with a technology it would like to sell to other jurisdictions. 'Premier Ford has talked about that with us,' said Scott. Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston told the group his province is looking to build offshore wind farms to produce electricity for the Atlantic provinces and for export. 'My colleagues across Atlantic Canada have big needs ... we're talking about investments in transmission to support each other. That energy is needed in New England as well, for sure,' he added. 'There's all kinds of opportunity to collaborate on ... to get the cost down.' For his part, Ford expressed hope Trump would 'take another avenue and start mending fences, because right now, as the governors have told us here, they've seen a drastic decline in Canadian tourism.' ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW 'We're all united here,' the Ontarian said at the closing news conference. Ford, Houston, New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier John Hogan and Prince Edward Island Premier Rob Lantz were all in Boston to meet with Healey, Hochul, Scott, Maine Gov. Janet Mills, and Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee. During the Feb. 27 election campaign, which Ford's Progressive Conservatives successfully framed as a referendum on who could best deal with Trump, the premier twice visited Washington, D.C., to meet with U.S. lawmakers. On June 6, he hosted Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp at Queen's Park and has held meetings with U.S. ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra. Ford told CNN that the premiers and governors were closely watching Trump's bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney at the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alta. on Monday. 'We have all the confidence in the world in Prime Minister Carney. He'll be ... obviously very polite being the host, but he also has to be stern. It's hurting both the U.S. and Canada — as always say, President Trump's tariffs attacks on Americans. That's unacceptable. We have to send a message to the rest of the world.'
