Prime Minister of Canada apologises to Trump over Ronald Reagan anti-tarriff ad. Thoughts?

[Cubus]

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed on Saturday that he apologized to U. S. President Donald Trump over a controversial anti-tariff ad aired using former U. S. President Ronald Reagan’s speeches to criticize tariffs.

I wrote about it before: Canada uses Ronald Reagan's voice in an ad opposing tarriffs. Thoughts?

The ad infuriated Trump, derailing trade talks and triggering a new 10 percent increase in tariffs on Canadian exports to the U. S.

"I did apologize to the president," Carney told reporters on Saturday, following an Asia-Pacific summit in South Korea. The Canadian leader said he had privately apologized during a dinner on Wednesday.

Carney said he had told Ontario Premier Doug Ford not to air the controversial ad featuring Reagan, which was intended to target American audiences and was broadcast during baseball's World Series.

“I told Ford I did not want to go forward with the ad,” said Carney.

Ford, however, boasted that the ad campaign was "very effective" because it had upset Trump. “You know why President Trump is so upset right now? Because it was effective. It was working, it woke up the whole country," said Ford.

The leader of Ontario underestimated the President.

Trump gets criticized for his tactics, but others cave in. That speaks for itself.

As Trump is finding out, you can't make deals if you insult other countries. Carney didn't propose opening negotiations, he said Canada is pivoting away from trade with the US. Trump is more mad about other deals Canada made that undermine the US, specifically the new one with China.

Pres. Pedo is so ill-mannered and thin skinned and threw a tantrum, what a beast!! And an embarrassment. The ad was brilliant (of course) and OrangeTurd should be taken to the wood-chipper.

As a Canadian personally I am disappointed with Carney. There was nothing wrong with that ad and Ontario had every right to run it.

Once again, a "leader" kowtows to Agent Orange. I may barf.

[Pohjolan]

Shouldn't have apologised for something he didn't do.
