Ford says majority gives Carney stronger hand to deal with Trump

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says a Liberal win in two federal byelections means that Prime Minister Mark Carney will have a stronger hand to negotiate with U.S. President Donald Trump amid an ongoing trade war.

“I think anyone that has a majority government has a stronger hand to deal with President Trump and the tariffs that we’re facing,” Ford told reporters at Queen’s Park Tuesday.

His comment comes a day after the federal Liberals, already boosted by five floor-crossers, managed to secure a coveted majority through a trio of byelections, two of them in Toronto.
