Canada’s #1 Clown Premier Doug Ford is back with his pathetic ‘Elbow Up’ shenanigan again:-
Ron DeSantis laughs at Doug Ford for threatening he’ll boycott spending his winter vacation in Florida
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis laughs off at Ontario Premier Doug Ford and calls him a pathetic Clown after he threatens to boycott going down to Florida this winter (for the first time) because of the ongoing trade war with the U.S.
DeSantis posted a news release on X saying Florida broke a record for tourism in the second quarter of this year, welcoming 34.4 million visitors.
“Actually we continue to break tourism records (and win Stanley Cups),” the governor quipped, adding a hockey dig, after the Florida Panthers eliminated the Toronto Maples Leafs on their way to a second straight Stanley Cup championship last season.
Oops.

Florida Governor DeSantis Delivers Brutal Reality Check to Ontario’s Clown Show Boycott
The Pathetic Canadian Temper Tantrum That Nobody Noticed
By Eddie Hardie 🍁 Integrity Canada
In a spectacle of such utter futility that it would be comical if it weren’t so tragically symbolic, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has declared his own personal “boycott” of Florida. His reason? A childish protest against U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs, which Ford claims are hurting his province. The premier, with the gravity of a man announcing a major geopolitical shift, told reporters, “It’s going to be the first time I’m not going to Florida”. One can almost picture the concerned hush falling over the Florida tourism board before they burst into uncontrollable laughter.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, a leader who deals in facts rather than political theater, responded with the devastating precision of a surgeon. He didn’t need a lengthy rebuttal; a single social media post sufficed. Sharing a news release showing Florida shattered its own tourism record with 34.4 million visitors in a single quarter, DeSantis simply wrote: “Actually we continue to break tourism records (and win Stanley Cups)”. The brutal, humiliating subtext was clear: while Ontario’s premier is stomping his feet, Florida is too busy hosting the world and collecting championship trophies to notice.
This embarrassing exchange is not an isolated incident. It is the perfect, pathetic distillation of modern Canada’s relationship with its dominant southern neighbor: a vassal state with no real leverage, reduced to empty symbolic gestures while its politicians brazenly rob the treasury blind at home.
The Illusion of Leverage: A “Boycott” That Amounts to a Statistical Blip
Let’s examine the shocking reality behind Ford’s grandstanding. The data, which DeSantis so effectively weaponized, tells a story of Canadian irrelevance.
Tourism Impact of Canadian “Boycott” on Florida
| Metric | Florida’s Reality (Q2 2025) | Ford’s Claim of “Hurting” |
|---|---|---|
| Total Visitors | Record 34.4 Million | Implied significant damage |
| Canadian Visitors | 640,000 (1.9% of total) | Central to boycott narrative |
| Primary Driver | 31.5 million American visitors (91.5% of total) | Canadian spending |
| Trend | Overseas visitors up 11.4%; Canadian visitors down | Universal decline |
The table reveals the absurd core of Ford’s threat. Canada, for all its bluster, constitutes less than 2% of Florida’s tourist economy. The state’s booming growth is overwhelmingly driven by Americans. Ford’s “boycott” is the equivalent of a single patron vowing never to return to a packed Walmart—a gesture that is utterly meaningless and instantly forgotten.
DeSantis’s Stanley Cup jab was the coup de grâce, a culturally specific insult designed to maximize humiliation in Ford’s own backyard. The Florida Panthers’ back-to-back championships in 2024 and 2025 stand in stark contrast to the Toronto Maple Leafs’ generational drought, a failure spanning since 1967. The governor’s message was layered: your boycott is a fantasy, your economy is at our mercy, and even your hockey teams are losers.
The Real Canadian Disease: A Political Culture of Corruption and Impunity
Why does a nation with Canada’s resources and history resort to such feeble, clownish diplomacy? The answer lies not in Washington, but in the rotted halls of Canadian politics itself. Doug Ford is not an anomaly; he is the product of a system where corruption has been normalized and scandal is met with a shrug.
While Ford postures as a defender of Ontario against foreign bullies, his administration has been embroiled in what can only be described as a brazen, multi-billion dollar criminal enterprise:
-
The Greenbelt Scandal: Ford’s government secretly removed 7,400 acres of protected land, a move that enriched a cabal of well-connected developers by an estimated $8.3 billion. The criteria for land selection were literally altered to favor these insiders, with 92% of the removed land matching their direct requests. The scandal was so vile and overt that it forced the resignation of multiple ministers and is now the subject of an ongoing RCMP criminal investigation.
-
The $2.5 Billion “Skills Development” Slush Fund: Under Ford’s watch, a fund meant for worker training transformed into a patronage machine for PC Party donors and insiders. The province’s Auditor General found the process was “neither fair, transparent, nor accountable,” with political staffers overriding non-partisan officials to funnel hundreds of millions to low-scoring applicants who hired the right lobbyists—many of whom were Ford’s own associates.
-
The Death of Accountability: Perhaps most infuriating is the absolute impunity. A decade ago, a federal minister was forced to resign over a $16 glass of orange juice. Today, Ford’s Labour Minister oversees a multi-billion dollar slush fund, attends the Paris wedding of a lobbyist whose clients received millions, and faces no consequences. An Abacus Data poll found 52% of Ontarians believe the minister should resign, yet Ford protects him. The public has been conditioned to accept that this is simply “how politics works”.
This is the true face of the government that dares to lecture the United States. It is a regime that specializes in stealing from its own people while pretending to stand up for them. Ford’s Florida boycott is nothing but a cheap distraction, a shiny object waved to draw attention away from the corrupt circus he runs at Queen’s Park.
The Vassal’s Dilemma: “No Card” Canada in the American Empire
Former President Trump once derisively referred to Canada as having “No Card” in negotiations. Ford’s Florida farce is a perfect demonstration of this painful truth. Canada’s relationship with the U.S. is not one of partnership between equals, but of deep, structural dependency.
| Sector | Canada’s Position | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Trade | 75% of exports go to the U.S.; $3.6 billion in daily cross-border trade | Economic survival is tied to U.S. market access |
| Energy | Largest foreign supplier of oil, natural gas, and electricity to the U.S. | Critical for U.S. security, but a captive market |
| Defense | Relies on U.S. for continental defense via NORAD | Military sovereignty is an illusion |
The Canadian government’s own website describes the relationship with the obsequious tone of a subordinate, touting “close collaboration” and “shared defence”. When the imperial master in Washington decides to impose tariffs, Ottawa’s response is limited to offering “resources and solutions to help you manage the potential effects”—a shocking admission of powerlessness.
Ford’s boycott is the logical endpoint of this vassal status. With no real sovereign leverage, with a military that is a branch of the American defense system, and with an economy hitched entirely to the U.S. wagon, what options remain? Only symbolic, performative shenanigans that achieve nothing but a brief headline for a politician desperate to look tough.
Conclusion: A Nation of Clowns, Led by Crooks
Doug Ford will not be vacationing in Florida this winter. Florida, bursting at the seams with a record number of visitors and fresh off another championship parade, will not notice his absence. The real tragedy is that this empty gesture will be sold to Ontarians as strength.
The premier returns to a province where his government is under criminal investigation for one of the largest land corruption scandals in Canadian history, where billions in public funds are treated as a party slush fund, and where the only consistent strategy is to distract, deflect, and deceive.
Ron DeSantis did more than mock a political rival; he held up a mirror to an entire nation’s political decay. He revealed the stark contrast between a state confidently building its success and a province—and by extension, a country—rotting from the inside, led by crooks whose only passion is stealing, and whose only foreign policy is the pathetic, embarrassing clown show we have just witnessed.
Canada’s problem isn’t Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis. Canada’s problem is Canada. Until it cleans out the criminal cabal running its politics, it will remain a lawless la-la land, shouting impotently at its powerful neighbor while its own house burns to the ground.
