Ford - one of Canada's most vocal critics of US levies on Canadian goods - said he made the decision after speaking to Prime Minister Mark Carney on Friday, adding that the TV spot will be paused on Monday "so that trade talks can resume".

It will still run over the weekend on US networks, he said, including during the Major League Baseball World Series games.

Carney told reporters earlier on Friday that Canada was prepared to resume trade talks with the US "when the Americans are ready".

Trump criticised the advert late on Thursday night in a Truth Social post, calling it "FAKE" and "egregious". He said trade talks were "HEREBY TERMINATED".
