Government footage of presidents is generally public domain. The Ontario ad cites the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library as its source. The library uploaded the clip of Reagan’s April 1987 address to YouTube eight years ago and listed its access and use as 'unrestricted.'"
"Reagan's ideals" is a bit like saying "Hannibal Lecter's appetites," but this is still good coverage.
