Welp, just as Major League Baseball is about to stage a World Series featuring the best team from the United States - the Los Angeles Dodgers - and the only team housed in Canada - the Toronto Blue Jays - President Donald Trump has cut off all trade negotiations with the British Subject to the North.

The reason? It seems that the President is royally pissed (pun intended) about an ad run by Mark Carney’s government which selectively edits a speech given by Ronaldus Magnus (you may remember him as Ronald Wilson Reagan) in which the greatest U.S. president of the 20th century expressed his regret over having to levy a tariff on Japan in response to its own extremely aggressive trade practices.

And it turns out that the Ronald Reagan Foundation is pretty pissed about the whole thing as well. The RRF alleges that Ontario used the video without asking its permission in advance, which is a no-no. Seems like a WEF acolyte like Carney would have known that.
