Ontario to spend tens of millions on U.S. ad campaign as Trump pledges tariffs

The Ontario government is launching a multimillion dollar advertising campaign in the United States highlighting that country’s close economic ties with the province and the future possibilities between the two, as incoming president Donald Trump vows massive trade tariffs against Canada and Mexico.The ads for the campaign, which launches Monday, were filmed before the U.S. election as the province sought to get ahead of a further shift toward protectionist trade policies regardless of who won, according to a senior Ontario government source. The Globe and Mail is not identifying the source because they are not authorized to speak publicly about the campaign before it debuts.
