Possible that the ad itself had little to do with Trump’s tantrum:

Possible. Sad that we have to consider such possibilities.

It really is little more than an extravagantly expensive distraction for all parties concerned. But that seems to be what the current WH Administration is all about. Extravagance and distraction.

Trump raises tariffs on Canada by 10% over Reagan ad

When Trump gets past his tantrum we’re here to support his every need. In the meantime he just needs to suck his thumb and enjoy the World’s Series.

B.C. will go ahead with anti-tariff ads despite Trump blow-up over Ontario ads on US TV this weekend:

Good. SCOTUS is on their side I’ll bet.

[Renauda]

Doesn’t matter, in fact I don’t think anyone here even cares where SCOTUS stands on the issue. SCOTUS has never been the target of the ads.
