Doug Ford Wears 'Canada is Not for Sale' Hat

Ontario Premier Doug Ford made headlines by wearing a navy blue baseball cap emblazoned with 'Canada is not for sale' ahead of a crucial meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other premiers. The hat, which features a Canadian flag and the year 1867, serves as a statement against U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's threats of imposing 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods. Ford emphasized the importance of unity among Canadians in the face of potential economic devastation, estimating that these tariffs could cost Ontario up to 500,000 jobs. He described the hat as a symbol of standing up for the country, urging that Canada must not be divided by Trump's policies. This meeting aims to strategize Canada's response to Trump's proposed tariffs, which he has linked to various economic concerns. Ford's approach reflects a broader sentiment among Canadian leaders to protect national interests against external pressures.
