Ford Defends Reagan Ad as Trump Halts Talks

Ontario Premier Doug Ford doubled down on a taxpayer-funded TV ad featuring Ronald Reagan opposing tariffs, hours after President Donald Trump said he was ending all trade talks with Canada and called the spot misleading. Ford linked Reagan’s 1987 remarks and said allies are stronger together; the ad will air during Game 1 of the World Series and cost about C$75 million. The White House said talks with Canada lack progress. Prime Minister Mark Carney said he aims to double exports beyond the U.S. as tariffs bite, while Canadian voices split over the ad’s impact.
