Ford is a bit of a tool but this is indeed a smart move on Carney's part.

Yeah… that’s about where I land too.

Doug Ford isn’t exactly poetry in motion.

But even a broken clock gets the time right twice a day.

And this one?

Practical.

Which I’ll take over flashy any day.

Credit where it’s due... the bigger play from Mark Carney is smart politics.

Use every lever you’ve got.

Federal + provincial rowing the same direction for once?

That’s how you actually get stuff built.

Doesn’t mean we have to send Ford a fan club card. 😄

Just means when someone makes the right call, you nod and move on.

If anyone can talk sense into our illustrious premier, it’s Carney the Ford whisperer.

Maybe carney can persuade him to get lost.

Now Mr Carney please get Mr Ford to fund public health and affordable housing. Otherwise the public won’t be around to buy anything. Come on Doug, do the work for the people, not your corporate cronies.

Truly don’t like Ford so I shall refrain yet again.

Nope! Told myself I would do better this year and I’ll do it. Ok need to start over every day but I’m trying!!! 😂

I was a teacher under two of his terms so……..

Pretty sure I was heard in neighbouring towns when he got the third one.

So much for a U.S. resurgence in manufacturing. It's becoming an afterthought under Dementia Don, no one wants to deal with an unstable petulant leader any more.

Like your way of thinking Mr Ferguson!!!👍🏽

Excellent strategy! Hopefully hybrids are also on the production line.

Fred Ferguson (GeezerWise)'s avatar

Automakers learned the hard way that betting on a single future is risky.

Flexibility is the new strategy.

Kathleen's avatar

Yes, and given Canada’s weather-scape & long distances, hybrids are attractive!

Good, but… it’s a shrinking rebate with few Canadian built EVs.
