#BREAKING: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Premier Doug Ford today after his press conference - call described as "tough" and "aggressive" with Lutnick telling Ford to stand down. Premier said no and that if anything, he'll go harder, acc to 2 senior govt sources #onpoli
Lutnick told Ford that some comments from Canadian officials - incl. Prime Minister Trudeau's "very dumb thing to do" comment - – are unhelpful and viewed as personal attacks against the President, acc. to the sources
After Ford told Lutnick he wouldn't back down, the commerce secretary seemed to acknowledge the tariffs are part of a negotiation toward a trade deal, sources said. Ford said he can't back down when punched, one source said, and told Lutnick he wants to work with U.S., as does PM
Read about it here in our live blog: #onpolitheglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
Sources said it's notable that Lutnick reached out to Ford and believes the administration is looking for a deal on USMCA and "off ramp" to tariff war. Lutnick publicly said today President may announce "compromise" on Mexico/Canada tariffs on Wednesday
The call was about 12 minutes long, according to one source, with Lutnick softening during call and telling Ford he understands where he is coming from, ultimately about getting a deal, and a feeling to put day behind them, one source said. (We'll see what happens tomorrow.)

Premier Ford said he's awaiting guidance from Dr. Williams on whether Ontario can open up sooner than June 14.
He did not take Dr. Williams' guidance on schools re-opening, though. #onpoli
"Indoors bad, outdoors good," the Premier summarizes, when asked why kids aren't going back. #onpoli
Ford says there wasn't consensus - although he says most experts agreed on sending kids back to school, they didn't answer his questions about variants and how many cases reopening schools would lead to.
