After Ontario's anti-tariff TV ad blitz scuttled trade talks, Premier Doug Ford vowed Monday he will "never apologize" for pushing back against hostile trade measures designed to poach jobs from his province.
U.S. President Donald Trump seemed to think otherwise on Monday, when he said aboard Air Force One the Canadians were playing "dirty" but now "they've apologized and they said, 'We're going to take the ad down.'"
The spot — which features archival footage of the late U.S. president Ronald Reagan railing against tariffs almost 40 years ago — played in major American TV markets and appeared during baseball playoff broadcasts. It went viral after Trump lashed out against it in several Truth Social posts.
