if donald trump is failing at trade theory because he's making it too hard to access markets, ford is failing at trade theory by giving foreign producers access to ontario's markets for nothing in return. he's repeating exactly the same mistake that has hollowed out ontario's economy for decades. ontario's breweries will soon look like southern ontario's shuttered car factories.

the framers of our constitution were correct to erect interprovincial trade barriers and they should not be torn down without academic consultation. we should have studies and commissions before we act, and those studies would no doubt recommend leaving the status quo in place.

but doug ford doesn't care about studies or commissions, he cares about his gut - his gigantic beer gut. who needs to read books when you can drink beer, instead? 

the consequence of the giant beer gut is his shriveled up beer brain. 

we need more intelligent leadership in this province.
