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."
this restriction is fairly standard, for instance, local TV is limited on the number of minutes per day of video that can be shown from the NCAA basketball tournament. Local TV also often slides past the limit because enforcement is rare. network TV has different agreements, stronger enforcement.
yes. tons of acres of hops in Idaho have come out of the ground the last two seasons, mostly replaced by corn, but there are onion fields under dormant poles, too.
there sure are a lot of notable happenings that the guy 2nd in line for the presidency hasn't heard of.
Q: A pardoned January 6 rioter was charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries

MIKE JOHNSON: Terrible. That's the first I've heard of that. I don't know anything about it.

Can I just say, Mariners manager Dan Wilson, when he was a player, used to come through the McDonalds drive-thru I ran in Seattle, in his minivan with his young kids, and he was always the nicest dude. A good sport about getting recognized no matter how exhausted I’m sure he was. Go Ms

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross
I’m sorry, WTF. This is entirely un-American in every conceivable understanding. I’m old enough to remember when people had to resign for such things.
Stephen Miller: "Eventually elections don’t carry the day because violence beats votes… When we see a muscular response from the federal government, it’s because we’re not going to let violence beat votes."

Is he implying federal intervention determines political legitimacy, not ballots or courts?

That was an unbelievable announcer jinx from Adam Amin just now. FFS.
missed this as it happened, but RIP jazz pianist/composer/arranger/educator Jim McNeely, who died Sept 26. Incredibly talented and influential big band writer, part of Thad Jones/Mel Lewis orchestra, taught and led bands all over.
Been a while since I’ve seen an NFL team blow a win so many times. Kills my survivor season too.
