Canada Launches Billboard Campaign In 12 Red States

The Orlando Sentinel reports:

Canada is taking its fight against President Donald Trump’s tariffs to Florida’s highways. Billboards paid for by the Canadian government are popping up across the Sunshine State, including one near a 7-Eleven gas station in Winter Springs.

Canada’s message to U.S. voters: “Tariffs are a tax on hardworking Americans.” The campaign was launched to heighten the American public’s understanding of tariffs, said John Babcock, a spokesman for Global Affairs Canada.
