Ford Posts Reagan Address After Trump Ends Canada Trade Talks
Ontario Premier Doug Ford posted remarks by former U.S. president Ronald Reagan on social media, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced he was ending trade talks with Canada.
The move comes after an ad campaign featuring clips from Reagan's address was used to oppose tariffs. Ford highlighted that
both countries are friends, neighbours and allies and Reagan knew that both are stronger together.
- Trump criticized the Ontario ads, accusing Canada of trying to influence an upcoming U.S. Supreme Court ruling on his global tariff regime.
- The Ontario government spent $75 million on the ads, which aired across multiple American television stations using audio and video of Reagan speaking about tariffs in 1987.
