Doug Ford calls Donald Trump’s annexation talk ‘ridiculous,’ pitches energy co-operation

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says U.S. president-elect Donald Trump’s idea to use “economic force” to compel Canada to join the United States is ridiculous and a waste of time when the two countries should instead be co-operating in the face of the threat China poses to North America prosperity.“Together, let’s stop wasting time on ridiculous ideas about merging, and instead focus on our efforts on restoring the pride of made-in-Canada and made-in the-USA,” Mr. Ford told reporters at the Darlington nuclear plant east of Toronto.
