Did Doug Ford Just Kill Canada-US Trade?

Did Doug Ford's political gamble just destroy Canada's economic future? Ontario's Premier launched a bold ad campaign invoking Ronald Reagan to influence U.S. trade policy—but it backfired spectacularly. Within 24 hours, President Trump terminated all trade negotiations with Canada, freezing billions in critical deals on auto manufacturing, softwood lumber, and clean energy infrastructure. This video breaks down the political miscalculation that could cost Canadian businesses and entrepreneurs dearly, exploring why Reagan's ghost was the wrong messenger in the era of "America First 2.0" and what happens when 75% of your exports depend on a neighbor who just stopped talking to you. Is this a temporary freeze or a permanent shift in Canada-US relations?

What You'll Learn:
•The Reagan ad strategy that triggered Trump's response
•Why invoking Reagan was politically tone-deaf
•The economic impact on Canadian businesses
•Canada's asymmetric trade dependence on the U.S.
•What Canadian entrepreneurs need to know moving forward
