Summary
Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned that Canada could cut electricity exports to the U.S. in retaliation for Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian goods.
The U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on most Canadian imports, citing border security concerns. Ford emphasized that U.S. states like New York and Michigan rely on Canadian energy and should “feel the pain.”
Canadian officials also announced $155 billion in counter-tariffs.
If enacted, energy restrictions would likely raise prices in the U.S., escalating trade tensions between the two countries.
I’m Canadian and I don’t think we should be doing this in the middle of winter. Plus it’s going to affect blue states, which will only make the MAGA fuckface idiots glad that the libs are being owned.
We should repeal US IP protection laws instead and cut out their potash. Make technofeudalists and rural conservatives scream.
Thank you. Californian over here. I am disgusted with what our government and the magtards that voted them in are doing. Do what you need to do to defend yourselves but please keep in mind Americans are not all awful.
Thnx for the reminder. I am trying, but I admit it’s not easy nowadays so it’s needed every now and then. I think by far the biggest part of Europe won’t argue when I say we totally lost trust and respect for the USA.
Surprised you had trust and respect for the USA in the first place, have you already forgotten all the countries the USA have illegally invaded?
The few of us that aren’t awful are fair sacrifices, please, do whatever it takes to dethrone the maniacs.
Just keep it in mind when some of us start needing to flee. Some of us just want to be safe from the fascists and to work together with our neighbors around the world in a cooperative way.
US citizen here, in a blue state. Do it, you’re doing us a favor. Let’s get those guys up there to get out the pitchforks, let’s see people freezing on the news.
The current blue is purple, let’s make it blue again.
Libs need to be in the streets. The Maga viewpoint will fall as the stock market shutters and their kids are in danger of getting drafted to fight a war on two sides.
It’s not the middle of winter, it’s March. It’s spring time where I live in Canada, it ought to be warmer down south in the USA.
It’s still the winter. Spring starts in a couple weeks.
It’s still dead of winter here in Quebec, where are you, Windsor?
Calgary. It’s 5 to 10 degrees out for the last week and there’s no more snow on the ground.
Come on, you know better than that. Winter isn’t over until May-two-four.
However much I’d like to see it happen, I do see problems in cutting them off too. It’s not easy to cut power on such scale, but if possible, i’d be in favor of intermittent outages. Random on/off periods of random length. The only thing that sucks much more than no power is unreliable/unpredictable power.
American here in a state bordering Canada. We get energy and trade with Canada. Our winter is basically over.
Please cut the power for an hour. Make it daily. Increase it to 2 hours. Do it at the most annoying times.
Hospitals and such have backup power systems, so a short outage wouldn’t directly harm anyone. (I’m sure some elderly shut in will coincidentally die of old age and it would get blamed on the outage) But it would get everyone’s attention and mostly be really fucking annoying for some people.
