Canada Just Aired An Anti-Tariff Commercial Narrated By Ronald Reagan During The Baseball Game.

Pretty sure the ad came from Canada. Reagan's voice knocking tariffs and then a video of him sitting in the Oval Office.

Canadians have guts. I fucking yelled out loud, wife thought I was nuts.

Fantastic commercial in the middle of the innings.

got working folks to vote against their own best interests, but, timing is everything.

A video of Reagan bashing tariffs was a brilliant idea. Time for Magats to start calling Reagan a left wing radical.

I even saw a comment somewhere of someone saying Alito makes Scalia look like RBG.

I don’t know if I’d go that far, but that’s stupid far to the right Republicans have gone these days.

And I unmuted having an idea that it was for our side about tariffs. Same thing but with hubby, why do you have that on? It's Reagan! I said Canada is doing it to show Trump is wrong about tariffs.
