This clown is certifiable. It is obvious he has no idea how tariffs and the power grid works.

Not to mention the fact the tariffs are reciprocal already because Canada is already using tariffs against us.

[cgbg]

I didn’t know New York and Minnesota were red states.

Lol.

Shrek is a bombastic buffoon.

This childish temper tantrum will hurt Ontario far more than it will the US.

Exporting electricity is a major commodity for them.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

I keep seeing this sickening sweet ad on TV about how Ontario is our friend, “right by your side.”

Yeah, right.

We shut off Niagara Falls once, we can do it again.

[No name given]

That’s true.

[Kudsman]

Me too. Both radio and the idiot box. Ontario wants to be our FRiend. Total coincedence?

Spend those bucks advertising to me, idiotas. I'm going to Make Minnesota Purple Again.

A lot of bluster over nothing. The US produced 4,000 terrawatt hours of electricity, imported 40, and exported 20. That means imports are 1%, and net imports are 1/2%. Meanwhile, our grid capacity grew by 3% last year.

Oh, and of course, New York and Minnesota, the two states that would be hit hardest, are both blue.

Importing electricity from Canada helps keep the grid healthier; without it, we’d put a tiny bit more stress on portions of the grid already under stress.

The areas he will cut off are red. Look at a map

[Texas resident]

That ad is being run down here in Texas.
1500 miles away.

Well, ok

[cgbg]

Part of MN and NY are red—for sure—but it affects the grids of the whole states.

I hope this blowhard ends up like Elliott Spitzer.

In 2023, the United States imported about 33 terawatt-hours of electricity from Canada, which is roughly 90% of the country’s total electricity imports. This represents less than 1% of the United States’ total electricity consumption.

Ontario is running TV ads saying not to worry, they are our friendly neighbors to the north. ?????? And who do they run to? Mitch the Turtle! Mitch who sold his country to China many moons ago.

I presume Ontario has stopped airing that propaganda about being our friends to the north.

[lee martell]

Was Premier Doug Ford wearing his blue ballcap with
:Le Canada N’est Pas a Vendre!” on it when he made that remark?

(Canada is NOT for sale!)

[Kudsman]

(Canada is NOT for sale!)

Count nothing out. We bought Akaska.

From Russia. With Love.

Oops. I’m dropping ells.
