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.
New York, the blue state? Canada is likely bluffing, as that’s a wet dream for Trump.
Talk of state colours? In an international trade war? Until there is an active civil war the rest of the world does not care about your internal tribalism.
When you find out how America works, you’re going to be quite embarrassed by this comment.

Bless your heart.
Michigan, a swing state, is in the crosshairs as well. They already have frequent major outages in the Detroit metropolitan. I don’t think this will help.
If Trump’s idiotic trade war with our allies turns blue states red, then it’s no longer quite as idiotic as we all think.
You are clearly no longer an ally. You are a beligerant state with out working rule of law.
Western NY is super red. Saw loads of Trump flags on lawns in 2022, not even a presidential election year. Very kind and friendly people though.
