Ontario Premier Doug Ford has halted a television commercial that angered US President Donald Trump after he ended trade talks with Canada. The commercial featured excerpts from former US President Ronald Reagan's 1987 address on tariffs and was sponsored by Ontario to criticize US tariffs. Trump had declared an end to all trade negotiations with Canada due to the commercial, which Trump claimed was used to manipulate a US Supreme Court ruling on his global tariff regime. Ford said he would withdraw the commercial to allow trade talks to resume. The commercial will air through this weekend, including during the first World Series games between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers. Ford's intention was to initiate a conversation about the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses.
