JTN:
Ontario Premier Doug Ford on Friday announced that he would be pulling a controversial ad next week, which featured a recording of a speech by Republican former President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs on foreign goods.
The ad started circulating in Canada last week, and President Donald Trump canceled all trade talks with Canada over the controversy. The ad was sponsored by the Ontario government, not Canada’s larger government.
Ford said he spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and decided to pause the advertising campaign effective Monday so that trade talks can resume. He said the ad achieved his goal of getting the United States’ attention. more

[…] the Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute fired back hard, calling the edit a straight-up misrepresentation of the full address, done without a shred of permission. They’re digging into legal remedies now and urging folks to hear the unedited version for themselves. Trump seized on that, blasting the spot as “FAKE” in a Truth Social post that laid it all out. more
Liars. They ran it last night during the World Series
Isn’t that like saying a man will quit having sex with a woman in a week or so to discuss family planning?
And the Networks that eagerly accepted the opportunity to enrich themselves with ad money from a foreign government to trash their own.
“The Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute”
When fake’s not good enough.
Gaaayyy!
The World Series is on?
AGAIN???
FFS
It never ends.
What an ass and a liar. He said his tactic worked to get Trump’s attention, but he’s a complete moron if he thinks it produced a positive outcome. Players. Ugh.

Trump needs to impose another 50 percent tariff strictly on Ontario for any product originating from there even if they try to move products through other Provinces to be exported in the U.S.
Disproportionate response to this kind of shit is the only thing that will end it. I’m with Pogo. Unless and until this bastard resigns or is kicked out 50% additional tariff on Ontario.
They should be hanged for using Reagan at all. Canada should be annexed and burned to the ground.
The Add gets pulled on Monday, they already paid up until Sunday.
Ford’s an IDIOT.
He Stared out Ok in Local Politics 15 Years ago, but obviously CHANGED HIS LOYALTIES.
His Brother ROD, had his demons, but was a MUCH BETTER PERSON. I knew him personally.
Corection, ROB, ROBERT FORD

Canada needs US more than US needs Canada!
Newsmax ran the add last night during a commercial break. I shit you not, I couldn’t believe it. Then latter Carl Higbie tore it apart on his show. Unbelievable!
That ad is a passive aggressive move. The egotistical Canadian Prime Minister thinks he’s smarter than President Trump, so he’s playing victim to the world stage for sympathy, but biting the hand that feeds you is stupid and self-destruction.
