B.C. will go ahead with anti-tariff ads despite Trump blow-up over Ontario

[shockedcanadian]

Get ready for Trump to tear up USMCA/CUSMA and negotiate separate trade deals.
Trumps administration probably views this as political even election interference. If we can do this now, what's to stop Canada or China from promoting ads against a political candidate before they announce? What about during a full election campaign?

These clowns are slow learners. I did my best to help but I've been destroyed.

B.C. will go ahead with anti-tariff ads despite Trump blow-up over Ontario | Globalnews.ca

Premier David Eby announced last week that B.C. will roll out digital ads in the U.S. next month 'to explain who wins and who loses' from additional tariffs on softwood lumber.

British Columbia Premier David Eby said Monday his province will go ahead with an American ad campaign targeting U.S. President Donald Trump’s “unfair and absurd” lumber tariffs, despite Trump blowing up trade talks with Canada over Ontario’s anti-tariff ad.

“It is absolutely essential that we talk to Americans about the implications of tariffs, about the fact that trade policy in the United States right now is governed not by logic, not by economics, not by relationship, but by something else entirely,” Eby told reporters in Victoria, B.C.

“We are going to exercise all of our ability to get the word out, including advertising. We reserve the right to do that.”

“We are going to exercise all of our ability to get the word out, including advertising. We reserve the right to do that.”

This is being blown up to be something it is not. Trump didn't have a problem with anti tariff ads. His problem was with lying. The Ontario ad mischaracterized a former POTUS's statement by falsely editing the context. It was made public by the Reagan library who has the actual quote. Nothing in your posted link specifies whether it is the SAME ad, indeed it points out the ad focuses on soft lumber. More attempts to mislead--maybe Canada should try being less disingenuous. If they have to use misinformation to make a point, THEY ARE LYING.
I live near the BC border in the US and I typically go into Canada 3-4 times a year. I am aware that the money I spend is a drop in the bucket, but I will not be visiting Canada this year in opposition to this. If enough Americans feel as I do and boycott, maybe Canadians will try a little honesty in the future.

As I recall Canada imposed tariffs on the US first and then whined when called on it

 

[Blaster]

Canada just shot itself in the foot.

 

[Cassandro]

Most Canadians are brainwashed idiots. They don't understand that most Americans resent foreign attempts to influence US policies.

 

[shockedcanadian]

You guys don't know how much some of us have suffered for trying to do the right thing.

Who do I contact in America to blow the whistle? I've reached out to your State Department and other locations and been honest about what is going on here. Who else would you recommend?

Maybe, uh, Canadians?

You did your best to get Canada to roll over for the US, for which you are a useful idiot.

Fascinating. Got a link to that?

by falsely editing the context.

In a tv ad !!

Now that's funny, I don't care who said it.

F you. I've faced more bullies than you could count and I have never, EVER stood down. In fact, me standing my ground and exposing these criminals is why my life has been ruined.

Ontario is basically a mob rule jurisdiction and they have gotten there way for decades. Trump is more of a boss and he doesn't take orders from a yahoo capo or two from up North.

No, these muppets have decided to destroy me, hence my need to reach out to America, grudgingly as it were.

America can't solve your internal problems. Only you can do that.

Like hell you can't, there is a reason JD Vance is so popular. There are Americans who risked their lives for freedom and they demand it of allies.

Trump and Lutnick has signaled their demands, like Reagan did as it were; of Canadian and other allies of embracing liberty and human rights of citizens.

Did you see how close Trump is to Japans new PM? They see eye to eye on liberty and economic and social progress for their nations.
