A certain advert in Ontario has caused US President Donald Trump to end trade talks with Canada.

Mark Carney, the Prime Minister, is trying to strike a deal to ease US tariffs, but Ontario premier Doug Ford has been behind this new advert, which uses excerpts of a national radio address from former US President Ronald Reagan in 1987.

Joining Ciara Doherty to discuss is Brian Lilley, Chief political columnist for the Toronto Sun.
