Dean Blundell has a scathing analysis of just how stupid and ineffective Trump’s latest tantrum is. It’s a good read from the Canadian blogger.

From the BBC:

US President Donald Trump has said he is immediately ending all trade negotiations with Canada.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote that the country had run an advert featuring former US President Ronald Reagan speaking negatively about tariffs.

"Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED," Trump wrote late on Thursday.

According to the BBC, the Province of Ontario had put together a one minute ad featuring clips from a Ronald Reagan radio address:

The video excerpts a 1987 national radio address by Reagan that focused on foreign trade.

"When someone says let's impose tariffs on foreign imports, it looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs. And sometimes, for a short while it works, but only for a short time," Reagan says.

"But over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American, worker and consumer.

"High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars... Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down and millions of people lose their jobs," Reagan adds.

Here’s the ad:

Who knew Ronald Reagan was an America-hating socialist-communist Antifa terrorist? There will doubtless be more developments in this story.
