This is far from the most important issue here, but the Ontario govt was under no obligation to "seek...permission to use and edit" any recording of Ronald Reagan that is in the U.S. National Archives/Reagan Library, as is the case here. And the Reagan Foundation has *no* relevant role here.
Here's the statement from the Reagan Foundation.

"The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks."

Olha is a professional violinist. But at 22, instead of the stage, she went to the front line. She survived an injury, a coma, lost an eye - and returned to the army.

By way of thanking Donald for not escalating with Tomahawks, I just killed a bunch of children at a Kharkiv kindergarten.

Would anyone ever do this to a house they plan to vacate in three years?
I'd be worried.
It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

“California will start selling low-cost insulin in January, becoming the first state in the nation to bypass Big Pharma with its own supply of the expensive diabetes drug and marking a notable win in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s push to rein in health care costs with state-branded drugs.”
“It’s infuriating that longtermists keep telling these lies to trick people into thinking their view is more reasonable than it is. In truth, longtermism is an extremely radical view most morally sane people will vociferously reject if they understand what it’s really about.”
New article on three lies that longtermists spread about their ideology. These are: (1) That they care about avoiding human extinction. (2) That they care about the long-term future. And (3) that "future people matter." I explain why these are lies below!! Like, share, and subscribe for more. :-)
Three Lies Longtermists Like To Tell About Their Bizarre Beliefs
Longtermists don't actually care about avoiding human extinction. They don't care about the long-term future of humanity. And they don't really care about future people.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
I’m going to miss you!!

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

They're like a teenager who wants to run away from home and imagines that looks like continuing to live in Mom's basement rent free only Mom isn't hassling them anymore, man.

This is a very general problem with all the Trump admin "let's bring back the 19th century!" plans: you can't do it. The 19th century in 2025 just looks like your country falling apart.
It’s worse than that. 19th c. medicine in the 21st c. won’t produce 19th c. outcomes. Not when airplanes mix ppl globally on a daily basis, when pop. density has risen to dizzying heights, when human communities have encroached on animal habitats to unprecedented levels…

It’ll be so much worse.
Just trying to get my head around the absolute gutting of cdc and nih today. A bleak day for the US and …. well staying alive longer than people did in the 19th century.

If we were a serious country, nonsense like this would end it immediately. But then, if we were a serious country, <gestures at everything> would end it immediately.

LOOK AT ALL THE PEOPLE DESPERATELY RUNNING 26 MILES, 385 YARDS TO ESCAPE A WAR ZONE
It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.
