Maybe the line needed to be crossed, but I get why it is controversial (not the ad itself, but the concept of doing it at all).

Shouldn't be controversial at all, since this "meddling" doesn't even at all compare to Trump openly musing about making Canada the 51st state.

The US meddling is far worse, with how much money they've pumped into demonizing the Alberta oilsands

LOL, they have literally spent the past year trying to turn our country into the 51st state, and y'all want to get a little "oh, I dunno if that is morally right" about Ford paying for an ad with Ronald Reagan talking to the American people? In his own, unaltered words?

Try not to fall too hard on your sword there, you will want to stick around for round two.

Bonkers. Canada crossing a line in the world Trump rules.

Do they air those ads in Canada? I personally haven't seen them, but then again, I can't recall the last time I watched regular TV.

They are the ones selling us the air time. Don't like it? Don't take the money.
