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.
You people are fucked up. Literally brainwashed. This is what happens when people are trained from birth to be afraid of empathy so they never have to experience the pain of others. The dichotomy here isn’t whether or not to cut off power, it’s whether or not to do it in a planned way that permits people to not actually fucking die.
No mercy.
Hospitals have their own backup generators and so do lots of schools. Communities can band together to set up shelters. If Americans choose not to save Americans from the consequences of American actions, that’s on them. Don’t believe for a second that your lecturing on empathy has any weight whatsoever. You’re preaching to the empathetic. We all just found out that there’s a limit and a breaking point to being sorry for people finding out after they fucked around.
