The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

BBC Headline reads: "What's in controversial Reagan advert and is it what he really said?"

One reads the story to find out the Reagan Foundation is lying when it says the ads misrepresent what Reagan conveyed in his speech. Why would the Reagan Foundation lie?

Why doesn't the headline of the BBC story reflect the conclusion of the article; "Canada Ad Accurately Conveys Reagan Message About Tariffs."

Canada fairly represented what Reagan said. Yes, the edited to make the message more suitable for a short ad format, but as to the Reagans meaning and intent...Canada nailed it.

BBC: What's in Reagan advert that caused US-Canada trade talks to collapse?
