This is CBS. I'm The World. I'm John Batchel, joined by my good colleague, Conrad Black,

distinguished biographer and columnist for the National Post about Canada, a subject I've grown

increasingly keen on because it's a nation that is very friendly to me, always have been whenever I've been in

Canada crossing a river. Also, it's a fascination for the success of the Western Hemisphere.

The new Prime Minister Mark Carney and the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, have been involved

what you say in a misunderstanding these last weeks that

initially was understood to be a driver for the break-in conversation between the U.S. and Canada

about tariffs, about trade. It now emerges, if I read Conrad Black's correct column, new column correctly, that the

misunderstanding was not entirely transparent.

I want to make this very quick, Conrad.

Doug Ford put an ad up that showed Mr. Reagan saying that he was against tariffs.

It was out of time, out of place,

long time ago. Mr. Carney represented that he didn't know it was happening beforehand and has

apologized to Mr. Trump, who was offended by the ad. But there's needs to be another detail here to your column it looks

that mr carney was informed of the ad before it went up is that correct that is that is correct

and and you put your finger on on the problem when when the ad went out coming from the province of

ontario president trump's reaction was a good humored one and and the position that the prime

minister of this country uh mark carney took was that he didn't know anything about it then

dug ford said that was nonsense he told him all anything about it. Then Doug Ford said that was nonsense.

He told him all about it before he put the ad, you know,

in one of the intermissions in the World Series game,

where you would get a very large number of American viewers.
