permission

Who cares whether the host countries will give permission?

The Ontario government didn’t ask for permission to use the audio, the foundation said, adding that it was reviewing its legal options.

It accused the advert of misrepresenting Reagan's address, and said the Ontario government had not sought permission to use it.

“The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks,” the foundation said in a statement.

The foundation said it hadn’t given permission to use the speech, although as an official presidential address it is part of the National Archives and therefore in the public domain.
