Canadians take to social media to debate their prime minister's apology to Trump over anti-tariffs ad

11. Read the apology. He does not say the ad lied

He says he would not have put that out because he did not see it helping his ability to negotiate a deal with our irrational President. His job as Prime Minister is to do what is best for Canada. This trade war has hurt both sides.

Ford is a right wing Canadian. This may be one of the few times he has become a hero to the left in our country.

Rather than anger at the nuanced statement by the PM, I would condemn the cowardly action of the Reagan group. The fact is that this is a valid, public clip. It is ALWAYS true that no one speech defines a President's complete position on anything, but it is not true this segment was taken out of context. Their knee jerk response shows how little tolerance there is among Republicans for any divergence from Trump policies
