Ontario Premier Doug Ford took swipes at Democratic U.S. lawmakers Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi during a trip to Washington, D.C. Friday. Ford is in the U.S. capital with a contingent of other premiers, including Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and Quebec Premier François Legault. “I always say socialism does not work,” Ford said. “Raising taxes does not work. Lowering taxes, with people and with businesses, that’s how we thrive in our province and right across the United States.”“Can you do me a favour and talk to Bernie Sanders about whether or not socialism works?” Greenwood joked.
