Ford grilled at Queen’s Park about trade fallout with Trump over Ontario anti-tariff ad
- On Oct. 27, 2025, Ontario Premier Doug Ford defended a TV ad at Queen's Park, saying it grabbed international attention and sparked a U.S. conversation about tariffs.
- The ad features archival remarks by former U.S. president Ronald Reagan and ran in United States markets, including the World Series, before being pulled Monday.
- Ford defended the campaign and said it cost the province $75 million, calling it the `best ad I ever ran` and insisting he would `never apologize` for protecting jobs.
- The negotiations stalled after the ad ran and U.S. President Donald Trump suspended trade talks with Canada, threatening an extra 10% tariff, while Prime Minister Mark Carney said talks stopped but he remains ready to resume.
- Liberal MPP John Fraser told the legislature that Ontarians will `pay for them with their jobs` and accused Ford of political gain, while Ford defended protecting auto sector jobs and said he won’t `roll over`.
