Ontario Premier Doug Ford: effective Monday Ontario is charging "25% more for electricity to 1.5 million Americans in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war."
Ontario provides electricity to Minnesota, New York and Michigan.
Are we winning yet?

*Just a little context in regards to Doug Ford, he's a Trumper. He may not be now, given the circumstances? I'm not really sure what to make of this, but he isn't trustworthy. He's been caught selling off Ontario. Watch for him to flip flop.
I was told by other Canadians under this post back when I thought it was just Ford making the threat that this was every Premier being on board for cutting off power after the tariffs are enacted. Maybe since Krasnov backed off on most of them it’s now a price hike instead?

Could he have been tearing up junk mail instead? ;)

I bet they're clueless and / or they'll repeat one of their daddies' comments.
You know what, forget that, mock them. Make them cry.
And have a great day.
...Sad that they approach a foreign gov for mercy and protection, and not their own President.
Go to the source US, you can't ask Canadians to be scabs in their own country.
Maybe Canada Cuts them Off altogether!
It is bad enough that we are targetting individual states, and not focussing on just those who support Trump.
We deserve it.
Trump is a freaking assh*ole!
Now imagine if Quebec follows suit.
TICS - Trump Induced Chaos Surcharge
MAGA: 😭😭
Sorry, but 🇨🇦✊.
I would expect Trump to cave in about 10 minutes...
We can only expect change in the us oligarchy when the right billionaires start to hurt. This alone won’t turn the trick, but it’s the right message.
I hope we can be friends again....
May those 1.5 million Americans ERUPT in protest!!! They’ve got every right to do so.

We don't want to do this, but are left with no choice.
Please educate Trump voters on who is at fault here.
Looks worse when measured by GDP
You saw the lies and lies and lies his mate Donald uttered, before he got elected, didn't you?

btw ask the people in Kentucky who work at the Jack Daniels distillery and for voted overwhelmingly for trump whether they are "winning" or not....
They should assess fees on Trump resorts in Canada...

Political Discourse Without Attacking Fellow Democrats! Identify Real Threats to Democracy Without Losing Focus!
Are we Falling for the Same 2015 Russian Manipulation Again in 2025?
Why is anyone Attacking own Leaders Instead of Focusing on Real & Serious Issues?
Said by a Michigander !! Our ties, across generations, are stronger than their hate & fear.
However, Michigan abandoning the Democratic Party has consequences.
Hope Michiganders are happy they helped elect Trump!
The same guy who is advertising Trump Tower Gaza where no Palestinians will be allowed.
But the Dems/Biden/Harris were bad.
So now, we get to live in fear of getting our once guaranteed Social Security that we paid into with every paycheck, we get to figure out how to pay even more $$ for electricity. F*ck
There is no option 3 where Canada willingly joins them. That will NEVER happen 😡😡
This is not the same country,it was before the orange a$$hat got elected by the maga morons!
😒😒
