Trump on Canada: Someone should get these clowns to “fall in line"

Wait 5 sec.

Trump is upset about comments from Doug Ford, who is the Premier of the province of Ontario (the largest province and home to much of Canada's manufacturing sector).Trump writes:Lots of “bluster” from Doug Ford, who is the Premier of the Canadian Province of Ontario, but who is better known as the less charismatic, intelligent, and overall unimpressive brother of the late, great, Rob Ford. America has been carrying Canada for decades, but no longer! The U.S.A. will always be far bigger, richer, and stronger than Canada. Without the United States, Canada couldn’t survive — It’s where they get all of their money and, because of their current bad leadership, primarily Governor Carney, and his Flunky, Ford, they will not be allowed to keep taking advantage of the United States — Their key to survival. Remember, much of the Electricity, Oil, and Gas that Canada gets is transported through the U.S.A. Someone should get these clowns to “fall in line” or, the consequences for Canada will be far WORSE! Canada’s Unemployment Rate is now at 10%, and rapidly rising. Their businesses are fleeing for the United States, and it’s all because of their failed policies, and inept leadership! The days of ripping off our Farmers, and other Businesses, are OVER! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMPThe stuff about Rob Ford is pretty funny as he as literally a crackhead and the former Mayor of Toronto. Doug is a noted teetotaller. The interesting threat here is cutting off pipelines and other lines that run across borders. The interesting one is Line 5, which is a long-term fight Enbridge has been having with the US courts.Earlier, Ford said Trump "can kiss my ass" and that Ronald Reagan would be "throwing up" over Trump's policies. He said Canada should be ready to cut electricity exports to the US.USD/CAD was last up 93 pips to 1.3857, it's been creeping higher in the US afternoon on a broader USD bid.For what it's worth, Canada's unemployment rate is 6.4%. Canada also counts several groups count as unemployed that the US non-farm payrolls report generally treats as outside the labour force. That generally takes about 1 percentage point off the top.
