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.
I fucken hate Trump so much. Literally no reason to do this shit except to weaken US trade.
Exactly. Want to fight China? Do it together with other allies and put tariffs on things you actually produce yourself and don’t want China to get competitive edge on, like for example EVs.
If you fight with allies you are weakening yourself and make China stronger.
You think turnip can think that far? All he’s worried about is his image, and if people cheer for him when doing [insert any fucking moronic thing you can think about], his base will cheer him on.
Trump is just Putin’s hand-puppet muppet. I imagine Putin can think that far ahead.
It makes a lot more sense when you accept that he’s purposely serving Putin. As if by coercion.
China is already ahead on EV production and adoption.
The US has space and AI and the latter hasn’t produced anything meaningful, besides accelerating enshittification.
