United States not offering support in battling Ontario wildfires: Ford
90Just a minute folks…Doug Ford is our premier. He is not the enemy. Donald Trump is! Today there is no help for fires and a 50% tariff imposed on Canadian products. Well now is the time to “elbows up” and hit Orange man with every thing we can. Cut off electricity, oil, critical minerals ,everything! Trump needs to be taught a lesson, that is what happens when you poke the bull.Come on Canada, are we just going to take this from him, I certainly hope not!

EZRide co-owner says company will take a 'hit' if Uber comes to town
82I can understand supporting local and small businesses, but consumers work hard for their money. It's not charity for business owners. Nobody owes you their fare because you got here first.Being a business owner is hard, I get it. But this is a free market. When bigger competition shows up, the answer is to adapt and overcome, to sharpen your pricing, your service, your local advantage. Not lobby the city to keep competitors out and hope you fly under the radar.If you're going to gatekeep, do it with a service worth choosing. Not by lobbying to keep the competition out.

Ford, Stiles push back on U.S. criticism over Canadian wildfire smoke
75My son-in-law is a forest firefighter. He works 19 days on, 2 days off in fire season. Super dangerous job, sometime even when it isn't the fire. A couple of years ago, they couldn't stay on site overnight to fight a fire because of a Polar Bear lingering in the area. They jump out of helicopters from 15 feet in the air with full equipment. Lug equipment through virgin forest to get to sites. Work in bug-infested swamps in extreme heat wearing PPE. They deserve all the pay they can get.

64Nope instead he is putting another 50% tariff on us again what would we expect from an administration run by an orange clown

18Not a fan of Trump at all, but he has a fantastic point in the fact we’ve never started experiencing drastic fires until the last 5 years roughly and we should be implementing a better preventative measures to not let fires out of control to the point half our country is maxxed out on the air quality index, something surely needs to change

53Remember, some of these American good ol boys are toeing the D J Trump line. as they are part of his shenanigans and gong show. They have the same mentality of, "Mouth in motion, before mind in gear." Similar to their illustrious and delusional leader. Next time there is wildfires or ice storms in the USA....DO NOT SEND CANADIAN HELP. Do you see them helping us with the forest fires? No just their idiotic criticism for small minded minions.

61Competition is good for everyone. It keeps current companies on their toes and forces them to find ways to stay in the race. The result is the customer gets some choices and perhaps more competitive rates.

58It's a really valid question? Why was $140 million budgeted when last year it cost $270 million?

Chamber of commerce 'deeply concerned' by threat of new tariffs
31Lonely guyUAE offered 70 billion, our master negotiator turned it down because even though he promised fast projects, we gave nothing but liberal mou’s.Trump would have grabbed that money immediately. Canada is in bad shape and only getting worse with the lack of progress from our government.I know the red kool aid is strong but we need to always blaming the US and hold our government responsible for its lack of tangible results of which mou’s are not.

47Why is everyone ignoring the obvious fact that most of the wildfires are in large inaccessible areas? It's not like we can just truck tons of equipment up north for where there are no roads.

22Isn't Ford the same guy who decided it would be a good idea to cut power to some American states? Isn't Ford the guy who removed all American alcohol from LCBO shelves? Now he is asking for help? You can't make up this level of stupidity.
