Ontario Premier Ford Defends Anti-Tariff Reagan Ad That Derailed Trump Trade Talks - Toronto

Ontario Premier Doug Ford speaks to the media during a press conference at Queen's Park in Toronto, Canada, on Monday, October 27, 2025. Ontario Premier Doug Ford is defending his TV advertisement that prompted U.S. President Donald Trump to scrap trade talks with Canada and threaten higher tariffs, calling it the “most successful ad in North American history.” In a late-night social-media tirade last week, Mr. Trump denounced the ad, falsely accused it of being a “fraud” and announced an immediate end to trade talks with Canada. Mr. Ford pulled the ad off the air, but only after it ran during the first game of the World Series. Mr. Trump also said he would impose an additional 10-per-cent tariff on Canadian goods. On Monday, he told reporters he would not be meeting with Prime Minister Mark Carney again for “a long time.” Mr. Carney said on Monday that trade talks stopped after the ad appeared.
