WASHINGTON, D.C. — Doug Ford is not known for playing nice with Donald Trump. The Ontario premier has repeatedly condemned the president’s 51st state rhetoric and boldly removed American booze exports from their biggest market: Ontario’s shelves. It was also notably Ford’s Ronald Reagan ad that reportedly led to the breakdown in U.S.-Canada trade talks last year. So the fact that Ford visited Washington this week, engaging lawmakers and business leaders and calling for getting the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) renewal done, may have seemed odd to many — and maybe downright...
