Vermont gets a good deal of baseline power from Canada too, so some rural communities could get hit hard if our Northern neighbors pull the plug.
Well, to be fair, nothing is really sane at this moment… so…
Ford talks a big game and he just won his election last week.
Not saying he won’t do it, I don’t think anyone knows how this is going to evolve, but grain of salt.
Still, as a Canadian, we’re pretty pissed off right now.
You just know there are going to be Trump supporters sitting in the dark, defending the tariffs. “I stand with Trump, even in the dark.”
Great. Manufacturing consent for a war by claiming the evil Canadians have shut off our electricity killing thousands.
We, Canadians, are done fighting for the control
of the Thermostat, so we’re kicking it up a notch and flipping the breaker, LOL.
In all honesty, I don’t think Ford will go through with this. Too much involved, including our own grid stability. I will believe it if he cancels the Starlink contract first.
PS: tariff war is a war nonetheless, don’t kid yourself…
Maybe don’t tariff our neighbors? Just a thought.
That’s what happens when you threaten to annex a sovereign country and slap unfair and uncalled for tariffs. I hope Canada does. Fuck Trump.

Your country threatened to invade ours and then breaks all bonds with friends and allies and all sorts of agreements and you guys are surprised to see some push back?
It’s like a bully going up to a kid, taking his sandwich, poking him in the chest and then getting surprised when he stands up for himself. Get real.
Tariffs are economic war too. Not saying this is GOOD, obviously, but it makes sense.
Good. This disaster of a presidency needs to be rebuked quick.
I’m not a fan of Doug Ford, and I’m disappointed that he was re-elected, but I kind of want him to follow through on this threat. Honestly, if it came down to a war, more than half of Americans would fight FOR Canada, not against.
I’m Canadian and I don’t think this what we do. We just charge more for it. A lot more.
If Trump is going to casually fling power about, he should expect the same in response. Who would supply power to a rampaging tyrant?
No offense to the average Americans who this is going to effect but honestly, what do you expect us to do? Your ass hat of a president is LITERALLY threatening our sovereignty as a nation. Is this an unexpected response to you? Until and unless he backs the fuck off, we are enemies and we’ll be doing everything we can to make his stupidity hurt.
Crack a history book guys. We might seem like the Ned Flanders of countries but we’ve never backed away from a fight. We fought you in the Revolutionary war, the War of 1812, and the Fenians, then we fought the Kaiser, Adolf fucking Hitler, the North Koreans and the Chinese, Saddam twice, and then the Taliban.
To borrow a phrase from you –
SIC SEMPER TYRANUS.
This is the correct response to an enemy state.
Economic warfare… you mean like tariffs?
The most stupid move was made by the 70+ million dullards who voted for a rapist felon who had already been impeached twice, violated his oath of office as his thugs beat cops and busted into the US Capitol, and had multiple other criminal trials pending leading up to the election.
I’m Canadian, although from a different province than Ontario. Doug Ford was reelected on a mandate to fight Trump to the bitter end. Canadians are resolute in this. Trump will not get away with his fuckery against Canada.
I hope they do push the off button. We need something that will wake people up.
Please do it!
“The US can make their own power, they don’t need Canada for anything”
I haven’t heard any THANK YOUs for that power, Yanks.
Where are my fucking thank yous?
It’s so cool to be the pawn of emotionally immature men with too much power. /s
We will not pull the power…. But whatever your signed contract rate means nothing as it’s going up 25% with our own tariff so just ask Washington to pay you back for your higher costs….
Well you have to fight the bully and this would cause people to yell at congress and maybe wake them up to act. Trump started this and it violates the USMCA agreement that he signed. Canada will come out on top of this battle just because of Europe’s support and interactions with Asia. Canadians are more joined at the hip more then ever, unlike America.
This will cost America greatly and everything built the last 80 years will be reset.
Christ I need to get those solar panels I bought put up *yesterday*.
FAFO

This way is the only way Americans are gonna learn how fucking stupid this trade war is. It’s gonna hurt all of us in the end.
As always, ‘Muricans get mad at the reaction, not the action that caused it.
Shocking, other countries are already responding to the insane campaign that’s running America. Whats even more incredible is that 1/2 of adult Americans are proud and cheering that the country they claim to love is being raped and destroyed. Hopefully some miracle happens and things take a massive turn because things aren’t going to go smooth for much longer if this doesn’t change
Go Canada!!!🇨🇦 We do not back down to fascist dictators. FAFO Trump!
Totally down for it! I have a down jacket, and snow pants. The kitties and I will cuddle under the down blanket.
I don’t blame Canada they didn’t want this but that retard Trump forced them.
The US American president started this shit… Americans will have to deal with the consequences.
Cant expect them to just sit back and take it
Maybe the orange felon should get a clue
I hope he throws the switch just as Drumpf gets to the podium.
I hope they do. Anything to bring more attention to the shit show of Russian puppets occupying our government.
Canada is done fucking around. Trump keeps trying to bully people and unfortunately the general public in the US is now in the middle. We do feel bad that people that don’t support that moron and his cronies do but nothing speaks to them but displays of power.
The US is little more than a Russian puppet state at this point.
America first= America alone
I mean, if we’re expecting Ukraine to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, the least we can do is not rely on an ally
Hi, Ontarian here.
It’s not gonna happen. First, it legally can’t happen due to international agreements. Second, he’d have to directly oppose the prime minister. Lastly, the prime minister could override him.
Dude is a hot head who loves talking shit. He’s your average football dad who thinks he’s more important that he actually is, and is likely 3 beers deep at all times. Google the family history.
It makes for some good war drumming, but it’s not going to happen.
Hey MAGAs just let us know when you are tired of all the winning ok?
Fuck it. Do it.
We are being assholes
Fill up your gas tanks. Gasoline is about to go up.
Completely all Turnips fault, he made the last agreement and he’s the one who is starting the tariffs.
