U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a new round of tariffs targeting Canada, Mexico and China.

Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned that Canada could cut electricity exports to the U.S. in retaliation for Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian goods.

The U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on most Canadian imports, citing border security concerns. Ford emphasized that U.S. states like New York and Michigan rely on Canadian energy and should “feel the pain.”

Canadian officials also announced $155 billion in counter-tariffs.

If enacted, energy restrictions would likely raise prices in the U.S., escalating trade tensions between the two countries.

    That’s some weird logic. Trump enacts tariffs on Canada,who retaliates in kind, so you’re worried about blue votes. Trump may claim that after the fact, but he’s definitely not playing chess that many moves ahead.

    The dude can barely plan a double jump with hopscotch, much less checkers.

      Trump enacts tariffs on Canada.

      Exactly. Trump. Not the states that voted against him. If you want to retaliate, retaliate against Trump. Make him, and the people that voted for him feel the pain.

      Look at the things he’s doing domestically. There’s nothing he and his MAGA dipshits love more than sticking it to the blue states. So, Canada doing something that predominantly hurts blue states isn’t going to hurt Trump at all. Quite the contrary, it’s going to give him huge hard-on.

      So, if your goal is to help Trump, well then carry on.

        Like it or not, Trump’s actions are America’s actions now and we’ll fight back in any way we can.

        Also Canadians are pretty pissed at Americans in general right now

        Cutting off power in blue states will mean that the energy has to come from somewhere else, which means higher demand, and higher costs across multiple states, also red ones.

        And let’s not pretend those “blue states” don’t have very large numbers of maga idiots as well

          Washington State, here. Can confirm. Seattle and Bellingham carry the state blue. Them yokels everywhere else vote red.

          I’ve literally seen Dixie flags here in Washington. Like, how fucking dumb do you need to be?
