Ontario’s Premier Threatens to Cut Off Electricity to U.S. — Says Republicans Will ‘Feel Pain Like They’ve Never Felt Before’ (VIDEO)

The premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, has threatened the U.S. over Donald Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on Canadian exports.

After initially putting a hold on his planned tariffs against Canada and Mexico, Trump confirmed this week that he would move forward with plans to 25 percent tariffs on both countries until both countries agreed to his demands surrounding border security.

In an interview on NBC News, Ford said he had never met a single American who supported the idea of tariffs, despite the fact that the majority of Americans voted for Donald Trump.

Ford ranted:

We are the largest purchaser of alcohol in the world. We buy over 3,600 products from 35 states. I talked to the Governor of Kentucky and Mitch McConnell. Don’t touch our bourbon. I’m going after absolutely everything.

And I don’t want to. We keep the lights on for 1.5 million homes in manufacturing in New York, in Michigan, and in Minnesota.

If he wants to destroy our economy and our families, I will shut down the electricity going down to the U.S. And I’m telling you, we will do it.

Ford then went on to say that Americans, particularly those in red states, would feel immense pain as his retaliatory measures.

He continued:

PM Ford seems on edge. Perhaps he should take a few days off campaigning to handle family matters and clear his head before he says something stupid, like cutting power grids to his biggest tourism states

“now with added cowbell”

LOL Great freaking meme!

I sure hope Trump is just trolling about Canaduh becoming the 51st state.
It’s not fit to be a state, a territory or even a roadside attraction of the U.S.

I’m sure he’s trolling ... right? :)

The Canadians can go without electricity revenue longer than New Yorkers can go without electricity.

We need to keep our northeastern US fossil fuel plants operational.

Federal law should prohibit states from causing the federal government to lose diplomatic leverage.

Ford wants a border war....and the idiot has no military.

Wonder how he would take the barrel of a US Marine AR 15 stuck up his nose?

That dirty rotten Trump, upsetting F9rds protection of the non competitive industry of Ontario. The family compact protection of his party funders.And the exploitation of consumers with artificially inflated process.

What a laugh.

That would certainly highlight the negligence of the governors of those states for becoming dependent on unreliable energy sources.
