He has created a video paired with California Governor Gavin Newsome making a friendly wager on the Dodgers/Blue Jays series with both together taking shots against Tariffs:

Doug Ford and his supporters talk about "the war on cars". So on one side of this war we have cars. Who's on the other side of this war? I think it's a war between cars and people and unfortunately Doug is fighting on the cars side against people.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is very car-brained and really, really hates bike lanes. His base is in the suburbs of Toronto and anything that impedes cars gets him wound up. He wants to rip out recently created bike lanes in Toronto. He also banned speed cameras as they were working as intended. 🤷

He also has another proposal for an expensive tunnel to go under a busy freeway: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/doug-ford-hwy-401-tunnel-campaign-promise-1.7453508

"These hard working families, they just want to get to work, get to soccer practice after work, get home, without the headache of bumper-to-bumper traffic from one end of the 401 to the other."

BC Premier David Eby is preparing a digital ad campaign stating exactly that. Canadian lumber has higher tarrifs than Russian lumber imported into the USA:

A lot has happened today after Trump's tirade. Ontario's Premier Doug Ford announced he would be suspending this Ad Campaign after consulting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney:

Manitoba's Premier Wab Kinew has a short video in the same style as the ad where he supports this Ontario Ad Campaign. It's a well done quick response:

I think the Ontario Ad is very well done and I'm glad to see a NDP Premier supporting a Conservative Premier on this and a Conservative Premier publicly supporting a Liberal Prime Minister. Canada is uniting and Trump is unhappy.

A term for that is underemployment

Statistics Canada collects data about this under the category of "Supplementary unemployment rate": https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/t1/tbl1/en/tv.action?pid=1410007801

Their categories of underemployment include:

  • discouraged searchers
  • waiting group (recall, replies, long-term future starts)
  • involuntary part-timers
  • discouraged searchers, waiting group, portion of involuntary part-timers
