Ford noted he and Walz had a productive meeting at Queen's Park to discuss economic ties between Ontario and Minnesota just two months before Walz joined the Democratic ticket.
Ford said he and Walz had a productive meeting at Queen’s Park just two months before the governor was asked to join the Democratic ticket,“I was happy as punch to see the governor get nominated,” Ford told reporters at an unrelated press conference in Mississauga.
Walz made his debut as the Democrats’ vice-presidential nominee at a raucous rally with Harris in Philadelphia on Tuesday evening. His selection as Harris’s running mate has earned praise from Democrats and political analysts, who say he can appeal to Middle America voters by portraying liberal policies in a common-sense way.As governor, Walz travelled to Canada in June to promote Minnesota as a trade and investment destination and deepen economic ties.
Ontario and Minnesota do $7.6 billion in two-way trade alone, and Ford said Wednesday his province is a top trading partner for the state. “I’ll work with anyone, I don’t care whether Republican or Democrat, I don’t care who’s in there. We’ll work with them,” Ford said.
