Everyone, it's JVL here with Tim Miller of the Bulwark. And our friends in Canada caused some trouble the other day. They the government of Ontario ran an ad during a baseball game in which they used audio of President Ronald Reagan talking about why tariffs were a bad idea and why fake patriots like to claim that they bring prosperity. But they don't. They actually kill jobs and. And slow down economies. Tim, let's start out by listening to the ad.

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. 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. Then the worst happens. Markets shrink and collapse, businesses and industries shut down, and millions of people lose their jobs. Throughout the world, there's a growing realization that the way to prosperity for all nations is rejecting protectionist legislation and promoting fair and free competition. America's jobs and growth are at stake.

So we've had some fallout since then, Tim. First of all, the President of the United States cut off all trade negotiations with Canada as a result. He didn't like this.

Seems kind of dramatic.

Doesn't like seeing things on t. Now, keep in mind, it wasn't the government of Canada that ran the ad. It was the government of Ontario. So I guess he thinks the prime minister of Canada should have the power to prevent the head of the Ontario government from running ads that have free.

I think yes. I think yes, he thinks that or he's not really sure. Ontario kind of sounds like Ottawa, you know, so maybe it was the capital and maybe it was actually Canada. I don't think that he's. My guess is he probably didn't take the time to. To really concern himself with the particulars.
