flag Ontario's Reagan ad stunt over tariffs angered Trump, halting trade talks, though Reagan historically backed free trade.

flag Ontario’s use of a manipulated Reagan ad in a campaign against U.S. tariffs prompted President Trump to abruptly halt Canada-U.S. trade talks, calling the ad fraudulent. flag The Ontario government defended the ad as a strategic effort to highlight the economic risks of tariffs, noting Reagan’s historical warnings against protectionism. flag While Trump claimed the ad misrepresented Reagan, historical context shows Reagan supported temporary tariffs to address unfair trade but advocated for free trade long-term, including negotiating the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement. flag Despite the backlash, Ontario paused the ad campaign, but the incident underscores ongoing trade tensions and questions about Canada’s negotiating approach under Prime Minister Mark Carney.
