Ontario premier Doug Ford said Trump can "kiss my a**" after Washington's 50% tariffs took effect and cars were threatened with the same from 2027. Trump called Ford a flunky and the unimpressive brother of late mayor Rob Ford, threatening to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America. Ford says Ontario could cut electricity to America, and Canada's retaliation lands on 8 September.
