Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he has a different recollection of his conversation with Prime Minister Mark Carney, who said he advised the Premier not to run an anti-tariff advertisement that angered U.S. President Donald Trump.
Mr. Ford also said the Prime Minister called him from his recent trip to Asia asking him to pull the ad, which featured a pro-free trade address from former president Ronald Reagan, but the Premier did not do so until days later.
The Premier added he would “never apologize” to Mr. Trump, as Mr. Carney did during his recent trip to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea.
