Premier Doug Ford says he needs a "clear mandate" from Ontario voters to wage an economic battle against potentially devastating tariffs U.S. President Donald Trump says could come on Feb. 1.

Ford's comments to reporters Monday at Queen's Park following Trump's inauguration were the clearest indication yet he intends to call an election in the province, after months of fuelling speculation of an early vote.

"These are negotiations that are going to go on for quite some time right now. And make no mistake about it: he's coming for us," Ford said of Trump. "I need a clear mandate from the people of Ontario. Not for tomorrow, or the next day — for four years of dealing with our American friends."

So THAT'S why he's lately been sounding like a leader instead of his usual drunken grifter persona.

Yup, and he knows his popularity will never be higher than when he's standing up to the schoolyard bully... because everyone will temporarily forget he's the second biggest schoolyard bully.

Also some crap about unity or something.

It's like Julian getting out of jail and kicking Cyrus out of the park.
