Newly elected Ontario PC Party Leader Doug Ford pushed back against comparisons to U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday, but went on to praise some of Trump’s economic policies.
“We’ve been in politics for 30 years, before even Donald Trump even existed,” said Ford, whose father was a PC MPP and whose brother Rob served as mayor of Toronto.
“But I’ll tell you one thing,” Ford said in the interview on CTV’s Power Play. “You look south of the border, trillions of dollars are coming into the country. They had the highest corporate tax rate, 36 per cent, down to 21 per cent. Manufacturing jobs are coming in by the droves. One of the lowest unemployment (rates) in 20 years,” Ford said.
“Then we look at Ontario,” Ford went on. “Three hundred thousand jobs have been lost. We have the most indebted region in the entire world at $311 billion, paying $12 billion a year servicing that debt. We’re being burdened by this carbon tax, by the highest hydro rates in North America.”
