Finally someone who gets it. Unfortunately Ontario will never be a knowledge based, innovative economy because we lose our best and brightest. The S.I.C enforces a caste which keeps talent poor and "in their place".
A province shouldn't be this sensitive to tariffs, but we are. While the most indebted sub-borrowing jurisdiction on earth.

At his campaign kickoff, Progressive Conservative leader Doug Ford made it clear: this election is about the economy.
He’s right, of course, but the question is, what kind of economy is Ontario building?
The province cannot afford to rely on outdated strategies that leave it vulnerable to global trade disruptions.
The looming economic turbulence, particularly from U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff threats, demands a new approach, one that prioritizes resilience, sovereignty, and innovation.
The old model of attracting foreign branch plants with government subsidies is not enough.
Ontario needs a serious, long-term economic strategy that puts its own companies and workers first.
For too long, Canada has been dependent on exporting raw materials while relying on foreign multinationals for high-value industries.
This has left the economy exposed to the whims of global markets, resulting in poor terms of trade and limited economic security.
If Ontario wants to be truly competitive, it must shift from being a supplier of low-margin commodities to a producer of high-value goods and services, like intellectual property and digital services.

Trump’s tariffs shine a light on our vulnerability and why Ontario needs more to sell, not just more markets
