Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.The Ontario government plans to stop running the anti-tariff advertisement that irked President Donald Trump after airing it during broadcasts of baseball’s World Series. The government-funded ad, which featured excerpts of late US President Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs, will stop appearing 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.”Ford said that, following a conversation with Prime Minister Mark Carney, he’d pause the ad starting Monday “so that trade talks can resume.” The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Trump posted angrily about the television commercial, which played in some Republican-held regions of the US, saying Reagan’s comments were fraudulently used and that he would halt trade talks because of it.Today's show features: Bloomberg News Ottawa Bureau Chief Laura Dhillon Kane on rising trade tensions between the United States and Canada Katy Kaminski, Chief Research Strategist and Portfolio Manager with AlphaSimplex Group and Drew Matus, Chief Market Strategist at MetLife Investment Management, with Bloomberg Television and Radio International Economics & Policy Correspondent Mike McKee on Friday’s inflation report amid the ongoing government shutdown Amy Rubenstein, CEO of Clear Investment Group, on the distressed real estate market See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
