Since this hits blue states, i think this is stupid. Trump wont care, he wants the blue states to be cut off from everything so they cant interfere with his coup.

Doug is just working for Trump. Never forget he loves Trump, is a liar, and full of scandals with American big corporations.

I don't agree on all your points, and while I am not a fan of Ford, I do think he is standing up for Canadians on this one.

Trump wont cave if we do this, so it wont be leverage as Doug said, and it would cut off money flow to Ontario for the power, so it would lower our GDP. It has no purpose, so why do it? It would hurt Ontario, and wont help persuade Trump. Tariffs yes, cutting it off no!!!

I don't expect Trump to cave, but I do think that Congress will take note. And I do think that the markets will take note. And Trump does not like when the markets are down.

You understand cutting a countries power off is an act of war right? Why play this game with a country trying to annex us? and why is it just Doug, not the other power generating provinces... if any one the French would do it first if it made sense. they hate America! Quebec is very against this!

PS I do not know why you are trying to cause division here.

No one is cutting power off. They are just charging for it.

“… cutting a countries power off is an act of war right”

It is not.

I fully understand why Ontario is doing this, but my heart goes out to the people caught in the middle whose electric bill will suddenly be much higher. There are no winners in trade wars. I can't believe anyone thought this was a good idea.

I agree. It is a crying shame. Trump and his administration are delusional. Sorry, that it had to come to this, but come to this is had to come.

Tariffs are a tax on the buyers.
