Is Ford Winning the Spin War?

Doug Ford has no regrets as his Reagan ad derails trade talks with Trump. He’s once again making the rounds on American media, but is this a win for “Captain Canada” or just another distraction from his failures in Ontario? 

Plus, why Blue Jays fans are louder on Fox than they are on Sportsnet. 

We’re doing another call-in show! We’re asking you: What do you think the media consistently gets wrong? If you’ve ever been frustrated by the way something’s been covered because you know better, now is the time to set the record straight.

The call-in period will be this Thursday, October 30th, 4-6 PM EST. When the time comes, head over to www.callinstudio.com/show/canadaland or dial in at 888-401-7056

Host: San Grewal

Credits: James Nicholson (Producer), Jules Bugiel (Associate producer and Fact Checking) Caleb Thompson (Audio Editor and Technical Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor)
