President Donald Trump has announced trade talks with Canada will cease on Thursday (October 23) over an advert critical of tariffs he has imposed on the cou...
I’ve seen lots of posts about the ad, but not the ad itself. Here it is.
I don’t know why Trump is whining; that ad was heard by millions of U.S. citizens years ago. Today it’s only an expensive rerun but on by the Ontario government. What’s the problem?
The state literally can just put any message anywhere in any city. It’s the State. They can nationalize any company and use their physical and digital infrastructure to send information to their citizens.

Have you watched Trump, at all, ever? He is a big baby. He makes 12-year-old 4chan edgelords look reasonable and mature.
If he behaves like a child it explains why he is attracted to them.
Why is OK for the government to be wasting tax payer dollars on ads?
How’s it a waste?
The money goes to US corporations, the only saving grace it has was stopping trade talks but that wasn’t the intent.
The government literally owns their own connunciation platforms. They can dissiminate the information they want for free.
Why give money to a US corporation?

Right, do you think that will work for a Canadian province to get the message out to an American audience on American owned TV stations?
Why would the CA gov be paying ads to US companies to influence US citizens? That’s fucked.
ONTARIO GOVERNMENT, NOT CANADIAN.
It’s about trying to get Americans to put pressure on their politicans to open the trade border. It seems to be working.
That’s pretty fucked up, if true
Why do you say that ?
Because we shouldn’t be giving tax dollars to foreign companies to try to influence people in another country.
That’s propaganda targeting the population of another country. It’s unethical.
