Canada Doubles Down On Anti-Trump Ad
A stunning political clash erupted this week after a Canadian mayor defended an Ontario government ad that used Ronald Reagan’s voice to attack President Donald Trump’s trade policies.
The controversial ad, funded by Ontario taxpayers, spliced old Reagan audio to claim tariffs hurt America — a direct jab at Trump’s America-First agenda. The move immediately drew outrage across the border and prompted a decisive response from President Trump himself.
Trump Responds with Swift Action
After learning about the ad, President Trump took to Truth Social, calling it “FAKE” and slamming Canada’s leadership for spreading misleading propaganda.
Trump declared that, due to Canada’s “outrageous conduct,” all ongoing trade discussions with the country were officially suspended.
Within hours, Trump announced a new 10% tariff on Canadian exports, further tightening the screws on Ottawa’s economic dependence on the U.S. market. The tariffs — now a key part of Trump’s second-term strategy — are designed to protect American jobs, farmers, and manufacturers from foreign undercutting.
Canadian Officials Double Down
Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown defended Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s ad campaign during a Sunday interview with CBC. “Sometimes you need to throw a rock in the pond to get a splash,” Brown said. “He’s got a reaction.”
Brown insisted the ad was truthful, despite the uproar over editing Reagan’s speech out of context. He claimed the late president viewed tariffs as long-term taxes — a point Trump’s supporters call a distortion of Reagan’s actual pro-America message.
Backlash Builds as Ad Airs During the World Series
The Ontario government aired the ad during the World Series, featuring the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays, ensuring tens of millions of Americans saw the message.
The broadcast placement was no accident — critics say it was a direct attempt to undermine U.S. trade policy and embarrass President Trump on a global stage.
Trump’s allies argue the ad shows how foreign governments — even close neighbors — are trying to interfere in American politics, echoing broader frustrations with international elites who profit from globalist trade deals.
America-First Stance Pays Off
While Canadian officials may have tried to provoke, Trump’s America-First trade agenda continues to resonate with working families and retirees across the nation. His administration’s tariffs have brought jobs back home, revitalized U.S. steel, and restored pride in American manufacturing.
Conservative economists say the president’s strong response to Canada sends a clear message: If you target American industry — expect a fight.
🔥 Why This Story Matters
This incident isn’t just about one ad — it’s about defending America’s sovereignty, economic independence, and respect on the world stage.
President Trump’s response shows that under his leadership, foreign governments don’t dictate U.S. policy — the American people do.
