Ontario Premier Doug Ford has called on U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra to apologize for shouting and cursing at Ontario’s trade representative to the United States. “The cheese slipped off the cracker, I get it. You’re ticked off, but call the guy up,” Ford told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday morning.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford called on US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra to say he’s sorry for cursing in public at the Canadian province’s trade representative over a television ad that riled up Trump.

Premier Doug Ford says U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra should apologize to Ontario's trade representative over a reported expletive-laden tirade.

In the latest twist over an anti-tariff ad which has upset President Trump, the US ambassador to Canada suggests no trade deal is possible anytime soon. But Ontario premier Doug Ford continues to defend the ad.

Doug Ford said that the Reagan ad that derailed trade talks with Trump is the "best ad that ever ran," as Canada courts Asia for new trade relations.

The premier said the advert was viewed one billion times as Trump said he has no plans to meet with his Canadian counterpart.

A defiant Doug Ford said the commercial his government launched, to the fury of U.S. President Donald Trump, derailing trade talks, has 'achieved' its goal and will now end.

Ontario's planned new housing legislation could open the door to ending rent control and indefinite leases across the province, advocates warn after a recent proposal by Premier Doug Ford's government.
