Summary

Canadian leaders, particularly Ontario Premier Doug Ford, are considering retaliatory measures against Trump’s tariff threats, including restricting U.S. alcohol imports and cutting electricity exports to 1.5 million American homes.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has remained relatively calm despite Trump’s provocations, but Ontario’s response signals rising tensions.

Analysts warn that Trump’s tariff policies could provoke significant economic retaliation from Canada, disrupting key cross-border energy supplies and trade.

The situation highlights the potential fallout from escalating U.S.-Canada trade disputes under the incoming administration.

    How dumb is Trump that he doesn’t understand basic trade? We have X. Canada has Y. We exchange one for the other. Add or subtract from the deal for the other guy and the same will happen for you.

    Where are the people who will lose on that energy transfer?

      You’re referring to a guy who has made a fairly successful* career ripping people off and not paying his bills.

      * Success as measured by the fact that a) he’s not in jail and 2) he’s the potus… again.

          1.5 million powered by ontario, so the people in ontario lose to. If quebec follows suit, then more people suffer.
