According to a recent post on the former President’s social media site, all trade negotiations with Canada are being terminated. This decision was made in response to a Canadian television advertisement, which was claimed to misrepresent facts and attempt to influence U.S. court decisions. The ad, produced by the government of Ontario, used edited remarks from Ronald Reagan’s address on free trade, which the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation said was unauthorized and misrepresentative. The move follows escalating trade tensions and comes as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to increase exports outside the U.S.

Canada threatens Stellantis with legal action over plan to shift output to US. This is a pretty big deal, and it’s got a lot of folks talking – and not always in the most positive way about Stellantis. It seems the Canadian government is seriously considering taking legal action because of the company’s plans to move production south of the border. And honestly, after everything I’ve read, it’s hard not to see where the frustration is coming from.

The system analyzes recorded greenhouse gas levels and human activities to determine the impact of climate change on the likelihood of extreme weather events. In reviewing 10 of the hottest heat waves from July and August, the system concluded that nine were made “much more likely” due to climate change.
