Ontario Premier Doug Ford has condemned “unacceptable” behaviour of Pete Hoekstra and is requesting an apology from the U.S. ambassador to Canada after reports he went on an expletive-filled tirade against Ontario’s trade representative, David Paterson.

“Pete, you’ve got to call Dave up and apologize. It’s simple. The cheese slipped off the cracker,” Ford said during a Wednesday press conference. “I get it, you’re ticked off, but call the guy up because you’re a good guy, and Dave’s my champion,” he added.

Hoekstra’s alleged “dressing-down” against Paterson took place Monday at the annual Canadian American Business Council gala, according to the Globe and Mail. It supposedly came as a response to the controversial anti-tariff commercial – issued by the Ford government – which aired in the U.S. until Sunday evening.
