In response to a political ad produced and distributed at a cost of $75 million by Ontario premier Doug Ford’s government, US president Donald Trump terminated all trade negotiations with the entire nation of Canada.
The ad, featuring former president Ronald Reagan speaking on the subject of tariffs (on April 25, 1987) was edited in such a way as to completely distort and misrepresent Reagan’s original comments in full context. It was an attempt by the Ford government to imply that Reagan and Trump held opposite views on tariffs and free trade, when in fact their stated views were identical.
Worse, as Trump observed, the release of the fraudulent ads occurred in conjunction with pending US supreme court decisions regarding a president’s authority to impose tariffs. This was the very issue originally addressed by Reagan when he gave his speech.
Why a provincial politician like Doug Ford would interfere in American politics is a question no doubt being considered by the Trump administration. Ford faces no immediate election prospects himself, though his government is planning to abandon the idea of fixed election periods altogether.
Let’s not forget, that in the very recent ‘hit-and-run’ provincial election called by Doug Ford at the beginning of this year, his provincial campaign was always attacking Trump and his tariffs, rather than opposing his political rivals in the province.
Similarly, during the last Canadian federal election, soon-to-be Canadian prime minister Mark Carney also declared Trump his political opponent while generally ignoring his actual Canadian political opposition.
Canada’s fear of free trade stems from the fact that Canadian politicians generally prefer controlled trade, controlled production, and regulated consumption – all controlled by the politicians, of course.
Given such crony corruption, it should come as no surprise that Canada does not respect private property rights, freedom of speech, or a culture of freedom.
This collectivist ideology has led to a dystopian nation with no identifiable culture, infected by racism and racist policies at every level, and headed towards economic ruin.
Homelessness and poverty are rampant on a scale never before experienced in Canada. MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying) continues to exterminate Canadians at a rate never before experienced in Canada, even if only over depression or poverty. The economy is suffering under extreme inflation. Illegal aliens are flooding the country. Housing shortages are rampant. Health care waiting lists continue to grow.
Personal, political and legal battles over the Canadian Trucker’s convoy in Ottawa still remain unresolved and in demand of justice. Violent protests by the Left continue to get police protection, while peaceful media members covering those protests are arrested by police.
While these symptoms and issues are certainly not exclusive to Canada, they definitely reflect a picture of Canada inconsistent with most international perceptions of the country.
Between the likes of Ontario premier Doug Ford and Canadian prime minister Mark Carney, Canadian politicians have succeeded in convincing US president Donald Trump that Canada really does suck, so much so that to set the country back on a path that’s Just Right would take a lot more than just eliminating tariffs.
