thewayneElbows up, Canada!
New York, Michigan, and Minnesota are being hit with an export tariff on power from Canada from Ontario premier Doug Ford, in an attempt to bring the American President to the negotiating table to get him to stop this idiotic talk about tariffs and talk about making Canada the 51st state of the USA.
While I'm no fan of any Canadian politician named Ford, I think this is a great move! He is further threatening to completely stop exporting power if further threats are made against Canada. The move will generate approximately $300-400,000CA per day for Canada, which will be a nice little bonus.
Part of the Orange Dumpsterfire's justification of his moves against Canada is the "flow of fentanyl across the border", which last year, amounted to something on the order of 46 lbs. There's probably more manufactured in the USA than came across the border.

Date: 2025-03-11 01:44 am (UTC)I think the dumpsterfire wants to wreck the Canadian economy first, I don't think he wants to actually use U.S. troops. I could be totally wrong. Canada can find plenty of customers for its natural resources in Europe and Asia, which will completely screw American industry if the tariffs go away and they come calling, and Canadian industry says "Sorry, we're booked for the next couple of decades." American spirits manufacturers are already feeling it: they were okay with tariffs as that still represented cash flow, but with bottles being taken off shelves, that's zero cash flow and that they feel! They are not happy!
