A government official says Canada is already examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the United States should President-elect Donald Trump follow through on his threat to impose sweeping tariffs on Canadian products.
This one doesn’t make any sense to me. Of course all of our electricity imports come from Canada, I suspect the other 15% is mexico cause I don’t know who else we even can import from. That said, probably most of these ‘imports’ are more like trades in that sometimes the nearest grid is across the border. I don’t think Canada is sending bulk power to the US consistently (maybe on certain days depending on hydro and renewables) and doubt a tarriff here would be nearly as big an impact as something like steel. I could be wrong though
Thought I heard it was the hydro plants and therefore mostly New York and Michigan rather than small bits here and there… Don’t think they can be just turned off either.
We could just flick the switch on and off a few times. Seems to work on toddlers.

Lmao, I hope he’s stupid enough to tarrif that too. Just go ahead and double the cost of living, that’ll go well…
