In a stunning act of political miscalculation, Canada aired a deceptive tariff ad featuring President Reagan to taunt Donald Trump — prompting Trump to retaliate by raising tariffs on Canadian goods. To call it “stupid” is far too generous; it was a reckless act of self-sabotage.
The person responsible for this misleading ad is Doug Ford; the premier of the province of Ontario. Ford thought that this attack ad would scare President Trump into retreating from his tariff policy. Ford was dead wrong. In response to this attack ad, President Trump has suspended trade negotiations with Canada, and has also increased tariff’s on Canada by an additional 10 percent. Doug Ford is a clown.

Trump Announces Canada Tariff Increase over Reagan Ad ‘Fraud’
ADVERTISEMENTBy NewsWeek, Oct 26th, 2025
President Donald Trump in a message posted to Truth Social on Saturday afternoon pledged to increase tariffs on Canada by 10 percent following a dispute over an anti-tariff ad using Ronald Reagan.
“Because of their serious misrepresentation of the facts, and hostile act, I am increasing the Tariff on Canada by 10% over and above what they are paying now,” Trump wrote.
Newsweek reached out to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office, and the White House by email on Saturday evening outside of normal business hours for comment.
