Ontario to Pause Anti-Tariff Ad Campaign After Trump’s Ire

The Ontario government plans to stop running the anti-tariff advertisement that irked President Donald Trump, but only after airing it during US broadcasts of baseball’s World Series. The government-funded ad, which featured excerpts of late US President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs, won’t appear after Friday and Saturday’s games, following Trump’s criticism of it, Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a post on the social media network X. “Our intention was always to initiate a conversation about the kind of economy that Americans want to build and the impact of tariffs on workers and businesses,” Ford wrote. “We’ve achieved our goal, having reached US audiences at the highest levels.” Bloomberg News Ottawa Bureau Chief Laura Dhillon Kane joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. She speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
