Ontario Premier Doug Ford receives honorary doctorate, delivers commencement speech at U.S. university | CBC News
""Just listen to what the great U.S. President Ronald Reagan, had to say about countries that impose tariffs: 'Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs.' That's what we risk in the U.S. and Canada if we don't get back to working together.""
""These are the attributes that will make you succeed. Just as they made our two great countries succeed, working together for so many decades.""
Doug Ford delivered a commencement speech at Saginaw Valley State University, highlighting the close ties between Canada and the U.S. He warned about the risks of tariffs, quoting Ronald Reagan on their negative impact. Ford emphasized teamwork, relationships, and loyalty as key attributes for success, both personally and between nations. He referenced his family's printing business and political rise to illustrate these points. Ford's speech followed a $75 million anti-tariff ad campaign that strained trade talks with the U.S., which have recently resumed.
