The Most Successful Ad in the History of North America

Doug Ford has no regrets as his Reagan ad derails trade talks with Trump. He’s once again making the rounds on American media, but is this a win for “Captain Canada” or just another distraction from his failures in Ontario?

We’re doing another call-in show! We’re asking you: What do you think the media consistently gets wrong? If you’ve ever been frustrated by the way something’s been covered because you know better, now is the time to set the record straight.


The call-in period will be this Thursday, October 30th, 4-6 PM EST. When the time comes, head over to www.callinstudio.com/show/canadaland or dial in at 888-401-7056
