"keep his trade agreements" - right.
He could drop every tariff to 0 right now, but the damage is done. He has proven to everyone what was already known by anyone who'd actually observed the man: he does not honour agreements, breaks them the moment he thinks it gives him an advantage, and acts impulsively without thinking.
The USA is now not a credibly stable trade partner. Who's to say it wouldn't turn on a dime tomorrow?
The world is going to keep re-organizing trade around ... everyone but the USA, for the foreseeable future. Once he's gone, and a handful of consecutive US administrations have acted like stable, reasonable adults, then the world might start reconsidering the USA as a worthwhile partner.
Trump's torched the USA's goodwill everywhere. There's no un-doing that with the stroke of a pen.

@IHender #DougFord is a monumental a**hole. #EndOf. It’s really a shame 57% of eligible voters in Ontario decided not to vote. Who knows what kind of decent honest premier we might’ve had in power versus the one that leads the #MostCorruptGovernmentInTheHistoryOfCanada.

This is surely a great example of how political cowardice can lead to total absurdity.
Perhaps Canada should hold a referendum on whether any referendum held by #Alberta should be taken seriously. At this point, the provincial government is twisting so much in the wind it's hard to see how any result would be credible.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/judge-quashes-decision-to-approve-separation-petition-9.7198553. Oh dear, the whinies out of Alberta are going to be loud, long, and bursting with self-pity. It will speak volumes if Smith lashes out at the judicial system in response. The rest of us should probably avoid overt displays of #Schadenfreude #CanPol #AlbertaSeparatism -
Coverage of Ford wasting more than $28 million on a private jet doesn't seem to recall that he pulled a similar (altho less costly) stunt seven years ago, when he wanted a customized van that "would be kitted out with a dozen specialty items, including a mini-fridge, a 32-inch television with Blu-ray player, a leather power reclining sofa bench, four swivel chairs and desks, for a total price of $50,696 (HST included)."
What a maroon.

#OnPoli #OntEd #DougFordMustGo
I was just reading the Ontario news release:
Without taking issue with the whole document, the subhead did raise my eyebrows. It states "Proposed changes would...direct every dollar into classrooms." This is hyperbolic nonsense. It sounds good, but all kinds of education spending does not go to the classroom. What about the salaries of the supervisors who are helping Calandra cover up constant underfunding of the system, hmm?

To quote from an OSSTF facebook post I just saw:
"The government is choosing distraction over solutions.
Shifting to CEOs with no background in education is not reform. It is corporatization.
And it will not fix overcrowded classrooms, rising violence, or the lack of supports students need."

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-school-board-legislation-9.7161639
My first reaction: I worked at the Ministry of Education for almost thirty years, so know from experience that giving legislation titles like "Putting Student Achievement First Act" means the Bill is about none of those things. Its purpose is not to prioritize students or student achievement. Rather, it is trying to solve the problem of school boards pointing out that the provincial govt is undermining education by grossly underfunding it. 1/3
