Reagan’s Free Trade Legacy: A Blueprint for Prosperity Ronald Reagan championed free trade as a catalyst for economic growth, famously stating, “The United States not only didn’t lose jobs, we created more jobs than all the countries of Western Europe, Canada, and Japan combined.” His belief that “free trade creates jobs, protectionism kills them” drove policies that reduced barriers, boosted innovation, and fueled the 1980s economic boom.

U.S.-Canada Trade Tensions: From Reagan's Vision to Trump's Tariffs In 1987, Ronald Reagan lauded the strong U.S.-Canada trade relationship, advocating for free trade to foster economic growth and counter protectionism. This led to the landmark 1988 U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement and eventually NAFTA, boosting cross-border commerce and creating millions of jobs. Fast forward to October 25, 2025, and President Trump has escalated tensions by imposing a 10% tariff increase on Canadian imports, f

Reagan Would’ve Hated Trump’s Tariff Tantrum In my view, last night wasn’t about trade—it was about truth. 🇺🇸 Ronald Reagan spent his presidency preaching the gospel of free trade. Yes, he once imposed limited restrictions on Japan in the 1980s, but even then, he said plainly that tariffs hurt American consumers and distort markets. The Ontario ad that used his words wasn’t fake—it echoed Reagan’s real beliefs. The problem is that it embarrassed Donald Trump, whose economic worldview depends o
