U.S. President Donald Trump says he is terminating all trade negotiations with Canada over an advertisement by the Ontario government that uses the late U.S. president Ronald Reagan’s own words to send an anti-tariff message to American audiences.
In a late-night post to his Truth Social platform, Trump attacked the ad, which he attributed to Canada rather than Ontario, as fraudulent and fake.
“TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A.” Trump wrote. “Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”
So I guess CUSMA is dead?
I think the best part is Trump saying Canada’s doin it to influence the Supreme Courts decision. As if Canadians don’t already understand that the way you influence the Supreme court in the US is to bribe the Republican Justices, like Clarence Thomas. That guys for sale for sure.
A lot has happened today after Trump’s tirade. Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford announced he would be suspending this Ad Campaign after consulting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney:
Manitoba’s Premier Wab Kinew has a short video in the same style as the ad where he supports this Ontario Ad Campaign. It’s a well done quick response:

I think the Ontario Ad is very well done and I’m glad to see a NDP Premier supporting a Conservative Premier on this and a Conservative Premier publicly supporting a Liberal Prime Minister. Canada is uniting and Trump is unhappy.
This is awesome!
It’s pointless to negotiate with an insane person.
thin skin bitch
American here.
At least you Canadians don’t have to watch this happen to your own country. It’s rough watching from within as an epidemic of stupidity cripples your nation and tanks your quality of life, likely for the remainder of your life.
At least you Canadians don’t have to watch this happen to your own country.
As an Albertan…fucking LOL.
Trust me. It’s leaking into ours as well. And don’t think this doesn’t affect us. We’ve been very close economic partners to a point that we both rely on each other. This hurts us a lot.
They are trying to use the same playbook up here.
nah it’s rough watching it start up here too. obviously less rough, but still, it’s growing
Doug Ford can eat shit all the way but it is pretty funny how he’s doing the slightest efforts to pretend to have a backbone… but even a whiff of non-acquiescence evokes the full might of authoritarians so it ends up having almost the same effect as actually be fighting back hard as nails. This timeline is messed up that this moron doing jack shit is being consequential.
it is pretty funny how he’s doing the slightest efforts to pretend to have a backbone
He let every single greenhouse in Ontario get bought out by a US company, while he only concentrates on alcohol for his simps.
We rely on the US for 75% of our Trade and as soon as Canadians realize this the Better off we will all be.
A note to beaten housewives everywhere: don’t try to leave your husband because you’ll lose your financial security. 🙄
A cogent, well-reasoned response. I’m convinced!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
My response to your brilliant “beaten house wives” comment? I was just speechless. I am still having troubles typing this has taken me hours to type outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt sorry fell asleep there.
All of your responses boil down to, “I disagree and you hurt my feelings.” I wouldn’t call that statement brilliant, but I guess it could be to some. If you don’t want to be mistaken for a snowflake, you might want to not let yourself get too worked up when strangers on the internet disagree with you.
If typing is hard, copy this:
ad hominenRead up on it, and you might have an idea why your responses do little to promote your opinions.
And if you want to use memes to get the point across, here’s mine:
You need help.
And maybe it’s a good time for us to diversify.
No feelings hurt here Nancy your the one that started insulting me, I am just laying out facts and if they hurt or you can’t take them then maybe you need to take a break. I post a img for some humor or reference to the reply like the LOL Because it made no sense to your reply to my Trade % numbers they are Stats Canada Numbers if you want to go look them up https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/250205/dq250205a-eng.htm But hey don’t let FACTS get in the way
Yeah about 40 years ago, we should have been maximizing our resources not hindering them. Also encouraging manufacturing not taxing and burning it in red tape at every step forward. We have an oil refinery on the East Coast that has to buy oil from the Middle East or Russia because we can’t get our own oil to this location. Although we have shipped Alberta oil from Burnaby BC down the West Coast to the Panama Canal through to the Atlantic Ocean up the East Coast to Irving Oils Refinery. Isn’t that Green? If only we had a way to get that oil across the Country. Now our feet are in the fire and we have a PM that is dragging his ass and using every excuse to not build a pipeline in Canada, Brookfield has lots in the US and elsewhere though. This is the easiest solution to get things rolling in Canada. But no, he is using existing projects that are already nearing completion. We need to start selling our oil, gas, minerals, wood, grains, meat and everything else to the world but we still need the US market for the stuff that we just don’t have. We are not Euro trash we are Canadian and I will buy American before I buy an EU product.
You know you can go outside right?
It’s raining and dark You know you can mind your own business right? 😜
Wtf?
Who’s terminating what now? All I see here is one loud mouth chasing his own tail and it’s pathetic.
DST back is a start.
I have almost all of my US services turned off I just pay for Apple’s cloud, although I could probably stop paying the $1.something as I am using Canadian cloud services now. I have my own .ca domain which has unlimited email addresses (on a Canadian host) so that I can create anonymous emails to slow trackers so I am worthless to the US advertising companies (like the Google). The only reason I still have a gmail account is for YouTube, I however use apps to block ads and trackers. I have a pihole system on my LAN to block trackers and ads, and I use the *arr apps for US TV shows. All though my pihole blocks ads on the CBC app I still pay for it, I get most of my news from CBC now.
No Bias there
Someone found a new gif.
What
Once again proving what a trade deal with this person is worth. We should definitely be making sacrifices to secure a deal with this calm, level headed, emotional rock. It would surely not be casting pearls before swine.
The advert is literally just Reagan’s voice from an address he gave against tariffs along with stock video of people and places. That’s it.
Surprisingly, Twitter users are even defending Canada against the overt bullshit that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation put out. I expected much less fact-checking and more tribalism from Elon’s social media website but came away pleasantly surprised.
They’re starting to erase the supposed tenants of conservative values, worshipping Regan and small government.
The small government stuff was always bullshit but until now he’s been able/forced to hide behind Regan conservatives. Now he’s conflicting with their jesus and doing it in a very overt way.
I do think attacks like this are highly effective because it forces their cognitive dissonance into scrutiny and it’s another chip in the brainwashing.
Many can be swayed like this though anyone who’s made it their identity is too far gone because they won’t accept logical arguments.
What a whiney little bitch.
Skin thinner than a tissue.
It’s called economic terrorism. Fascists try to financially harm anyone they disagree with… until they gain enough power to murder anyone they disagree with.
Skinnier that half-ply toilet paper. And about as irritating.
Canada/Ontario is not allowed to have the Reagan opinion that tariffs are bad in order for (totally constructive with progress) negotiations to resume?
Nein! You cannot contradict der Fuhrer!
Do you speak for the King
So I guess CUSMA is dead?
No, why would it be? It’s already in effect, Trump would need to explicitly withdraw from it to make it stop being in effect.
He might do that, of course. He’s randomly throwing tantrums and his dementia-riddled brain could come up with any random impulse for him to follow. But this isn’t that.
CUSMA is up for renegotiations.
In 2026. That’s decades away.
The US could announce withdrawal at any time with six months’ notice, sure, but that has not happened yet.
In 2026. That’s decades away.
It’s funny and sad how this rings so accurate
No problem, let’s also stop supplying power for the entire Northeast then. At this point our population is nearly 100% committed to dealing with the difficulties of cutting ties with the US.
No problem, let’s also stop supplying power for the entire Northeast then
That will be easy, because we never did. We actually buy US power in certain seasons. If only media would tell us the reality instead of quoting Doug Ford.

Whoa whoa whoa, wait, that link you just sent shows the exports as way higher, maybe I’m missing something?
let’s also stop supplying power for the entire Northeast then.
Just export tariffs on electricity, other energy, metals and potash. This still makes energy, manufacturing, cheaper for Canadians, while generating social revenue.
Ford did that, then he stopped. Not a tariff, a surcharge.
