President Trump’s tariffs go against Ronald Reagan’s legacy.
Doug Ford’s ads are good — keep them on TV #elbowsup
@stewartprest.ca:
Just to be clear, yet again, that simply giving in does not bring relief. It invites further torment.
Bullies don’t stop when you [give] what they demand. They stop when it’s clear you won’t.
@billkristolbulwark.bsky.social:
An embarrassingly obvious point, but…
This. Is. Illegal.
If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn’t arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.
In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.
the orange kidraping spoiled rotten sadist is murdering people on video, and bragging about it. Of course there’s no rule of law in USA, it was raped when SCOTUS gave Trump legal immunity to keep him out of prison, and help him become king – before the fucking election.

What good is a written law if there’s no one to enforce it?
@damewritesalot.bsky.social
THIS.
THIS RIGHT HERE.
The corrupt illegitimate supermajority of the Supreme Court needs to go as well. They’ve enabled him at every turn.
@darrigomelanie.bsky.social:
- Reagan’s speech is real
- It’s public domain
- Americans pay the cost of the added 10% tariffs, not Canadians
- Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact checkAnd because I think he believes his lies are more important than the truth. He’s a shit-spewing king after all.
- The average family will pay an extra $4900 this year because his tariffs

It’s not that Trump thinks we’re too stupid to fact check, it’s that he’s too stupid to fact check.

Nailed it

“4. Trump keeps lying because he thinks you’re all too stupid to fact check”
I kept waiting for the highly paid, highly educated masters of our media to correct this flaming, stinking lie “we’re taking in billions” and they never did. Trump getting away with big tariff lie is on them 100pc.
@jasonleader1.bsky.social:
in all fairness, he KNOWS his base is that stupid. i mean, they have to be given how they still support him.
@susersuzanner.bsky.social:
He’s a mad king. And our Congress allows it. We all need to understand this.
@rogerman99.bsky.social:
This Pedo In Chief horseshit makes the point, again, for Canadians. They must choose between being a sovereign state or a vassal of the US. A lawless, demented, pedophile & serial rapist has made it absolutely clear what his goal for Canada is. Subjugation. Not the 51st state. Not equal.
@rogerman99.bsky.social:
A vassal. Or smashed into manageable parts and then a vassal. Or occupied. The disorderd pedo has been clear about his intent, and his preferred tactic. Our economic ruin. But that doesn’t mean he won’t reach deeper into his bag of depravity. His agents already are active.And Mark Traitor Carney and Danielle Scuzzbag Smith are two of them.

@DBarnettMoncton:
If a Canadian province funding these ads are ‘foreign interference’ then @fordnation
should simply send the production reel to free-trading Americans to run them. I’m sure there are plenty of border states who would love to keep it rolling.
@discordantmuse.bsky.social:
What a nice little vassal state we are.
@triball.bsky.social:
I’ve checked both SMR and enriched uranium has other non US suppliers. They must change their plansThey won’t, Carney will never allow Canada to leave Nazi USA’s clutches and abuses, he’s more extreme right Repuglican than even Steve Harper.
@dalevoight.bsky.social:
Video? Photos for sure.
@tryangregory.bsky.social:
Imagine ever thinking you could negotiate a meaningful deal with this person.
@bhaggart.bsky.social:
Pausing the ads so that trade talks can resume.
Talks with a thin-skinned wannabe authoritarian who can’t be trusted to keep his word and who’s just shown everyone — again — that he isn’t a reliable negotiating partner.
This isn’t strategic. This is flailing.
@journodale.bsky.social:
Ford is backing down and pausing the ad buy after speaking with Carney.
@puttingwaffle.bsky.social:
I mean, the video probably got more of an audience after Trump mentioned it than it ever will. Trump messed up and gave that ad a boost. It was all primetime today.
@laughlin1.bsky.social:
That was a great idea! Why back out?
@dbliuvas.bsky.social:
So it will still air during Game 1 & 2 of the World Series.
@justinling.ca:
Trump is posting on Truth Social that he’s terminating negotiations with Canada over a “fake” ad criticizing tariffs (that was run by Ontario, and which isn’t fake.)
It’s all theatre. There was never a deal to be gotten. Trump just wants to claim victory. And in my view, Repuglican Carney knows it.
#giftlinkwww.thestar.com/opinion/cont…
…
For me, that’s the real takeaway of all this stuff. Trump doesn’t see trade partners, he sees the world as a piggybank to finance his risky, stupid bets — just as he once viewed Deutsche Bank and Vnesheconombank. He’s desperate for customers and investment capital.
If anyone has any damn sense, they’d stop trying to make deals with Trump.
@encapsidated.bsky.social:
And anyway even if you somehow make a “deal” with Trump, he’s just going to renege on it, so no you didn’t really have a deal to begin with
@mrpatio.bsky.social:
You can’t make a deal with the petulant man-child who lies about everything.
@emmettmacfarlane.com:
Yep. Never forget that Doug Ford is, above all else, an idiot.
@eileenottawa.bsky.social:
Which is ironic given Ford is still referring to the US as a family member. And wants to worker closer with them.
Ontario to pull ad that angered Trump on Monday, Ford says — after weekend’s World Series games by various, CBC News Oct 24, 2025
U.S. president blasted Ontario’s anti-tariff ad on social media
Is the anti-tariff ad really to blame for Canada-U.S. trade negotiations breaking down?
U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s terminating all negotiations with Canada, blaming an anti-tariff ad that was broadcast to American audiences. But does Trump’s frustrations go beyond the Ontario government-made ad?
The Latest
- Ontario Premier Doug Ford said he will pull a controversial anti-tariff ad Monday, after it airs during the weekend’s World Series games.
- U.S. President Donald Trump attacked the ad by the Ontario government, which uses quotes by former U.S. president Ronald Reagan to extol the virtues of free trade.
- Trump said he is terminating all negotiations with Canada after an anti-tariff ad was broadcast to American audiences.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters on Friday that Canada is prepared to continue trade talks “when the Americans are ready to have those discussions.”
- The president’s decision on Thursday night caught the Carney government by surprise, according to sources who spoke to Radio-Canada and CBC News.
Alberta premier says pulling ad was the right moveJust another fucking Nazi collaborator.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says pulling the Ontario’s government ad off the air is the right move.
“I remain convinced that the path to a positive resolution with our U.S. partners lies in strong, consistent diplomacy and a commitment to working in good faith toward shared priorities,” she posted on social media this afternoon.Lying Baby Spray Tan knows not what faith is, never mind good faith.
“I am pleased to see Ontario’s ad campaign is being suspended and I once again urge the federal government to continue negotiating to resolve these tariff issues and restore a free and fair trade agreement with the United States.”
Trump fomenting ‘fake outrage,’ says Unifor president
While Trump accused the Ontario government of running a “fake ad,” the head of Canada’s largest private sector union says the only thing fake is the president’s outrage.
“From the start, Trump’s intention has been to destroy our industrial base and bully Canada into economic subservience,” Unifor National President Lana Payne said in a statement.
“The president’s fake outrage over a TV ad is just his latest ploy to sabotage any progress made by the Canadian negotiating team.”
Payne also offered a word of support for Doug Ford.
“Premier Ford, whose province has been hit hard by the trade war, understands that we can’t negotiate from our knees. We need to fight back,” she said.3 hours ago
Ford will pull the Reagan ad — but not before it airs during the World SeriesGood, it ought to never be pulled. Damn you Nazi Carney
Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he will pull the controversial Reagan anti-tariff ad airing on U.S. TV next week — but not before it’s seen by millions more Americans over the weekend as it airs during the World Series games.
Ford said on social media he made the decision to “pause” the campaign after “speaking with Prime Minister Carney” so that trade talks between the two countries “can resume.”
“Our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses. We’ve achieved our goal, having reached U.S. audiences at the highest levels,” Ford said.
“The people elected our government to protect Ontario — our workers, businesses, families and communities. That’s exactly what I’m doing,” he said.
U.S. Democrats condemn Trump’s ‘tariff temper tantrums’
Democrats in the U.S. Congress are lashing out at Trump for his latest Canadian broadside.
Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, said his party will force the chamber to vote on Trump’s “damaging” tariffs on Canada next week, levies that he said are “one of the driving forces behind higher prices.”
“Americans cannot afford Donald Trump’s price-spiking tariff temper tantrums. These constant tantrums end up costing Americans real money,” Schumer said.
Schumer’s not wrong on that point.
The U.S. Tax Foundation calls Trump’s tariffs the largest tax hike on Americans since 1993.
Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, another Democrat who has been leading the charge against the Canadian tariffs in the upper house, said Trump is prompting “chaos” with his scattered trade policy.
“I’m going to do all I can to convince my colleagues it’s time to stop this foolishness,” Kaine said.4 hours ago
Anti-tariff ads coming from B.C., too
B.C. Premier David Eby says he’s not backing down from his province’s planned anti-tariff ads that will run in the U.S.
“Americans need to hear how tariffs raise prices. We’re making ads to defend British Columbia and Canada’s forestry workers. Our wood faces higher U.S. tariffs than Russia. Absurd. Truth will win!” he posted on social media.
Eby is referring to the U.S. administration’s recent hike to tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber, bringing them to a combined 45 per cent.
We’ve already seen the fallout of that in forestry-dependent communities in Northern B.C. This week, the family-owned Sinclar Group Forest Products announced it will scale back operations by 40 per cent at three of its sawmills — equivalent to shutting down one mill entirely.
As for those B.C. ads — they’re not out yet. But once they hit American airwaves, they’re sure to get Trump’s attention. 4 hours ago
Trump administration is ‘unpredictable,’ industry minister says
Industry Minister Mélanie Joly said earlier this morning that Trump’s decision to abruptly halt trade talks reinforces the need to diversify Canada’s economy.
“We already know that there’s only one person in the American administration that takes decisions — and it is President Trump himself. We know that it is an administration that is very unpredictable and this has been part of Canadians’ lives over the last few months,” Joly said at a news conference in Sherbrooke, Que.
“We need to make sure that we reduce our dependency on the U.S. and that we support our businesses.”
Carney announced earlier this week that the government’s upcoming budget will include a plan to double non-U.S. exports over the next decade.I bet his plan is just a ruse; despicable Carney’s been integrating Canada deeper and deeper into Nazi USA, and always licks Trump’s ass when the kid rapist has a tantrum. Pathetic and so unCanadian; Carney is USA Republican’s Harper2 and is more extreme right than Harper ever was or will be.
