Response to this claim
Prices are too high, and the United States should end its tariff war with Canada now.
“Prices are too high and Canada is not our enemy. We need to end the tariff war — now.”
Rogers's campaign account posted this message with a 30-second ad on October 7, 2026. In the ad, filmed in a bar, Rogers holds a Labatt beer, says people in Michigan know Canada is not the enemy, and calls for an end to the tariff war.
The reference point is the U.S. tariff war with Canada. Rogers says it should end now and ties it to high prices, so we labeled it Condemned. The closest competing label is Mixed or conditional; it loses because the post offers no defense of the tariffs.
