Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"
-
One of Canada's worst politicians says he'll do something useful for once.
Incredible watching the downfall of American hegemony in real-time.
-
Im gonna tell you right now, as a Canadian, we do not care what colour your states are.
-
“sorry” was never a good password anyway
-
That Ozempic chewing orange twat has never physically jumped in his life, let's be honest.
-
Gotta love living in a "democracy" where one team screws over the entire country and the other team cheers out of spite.
-
I guess you proved your own point.

The Rich(TM) want to buy the dip and buy up property (see project 2025). They need the economy to break but not to completely collapse. And then it will "bounce back" enough that they can transfer their USD to other currencies.
Whether trump's fucking stupidity will accomplish that seems REAL questionable.
That said: Massive power outages (also, this is just the equivalent of a state governor with a crackhead brother saying it to appear strong to Canada's conservatives) might be what this country needs to get out en masse in places other than the blue states.

(Copy-pasting from another thread)
I like Cory Doctorow’s plan.
The reason Canada got tariff-free access to sell to the US in the first place? Canada agreed to enforce penalties for tampering with digital locks, following the premise of the Digital Milennium Copyright Act.
If the US is going back on the deal, then Canada should too. Make it legal to jailbreak all US tech.
Doctorow advocating for this plan:
- On Democracy Now
- On his blog
- On his podcast
- In the Ursula Franklin lecture at the University of Toronto’s Innis College (I especially enjoyed this one, but it is the longest)
-
Ford is spineless. I doubt he has the balls to do this
-
Given that Canadians don't typically vote in American elections, I don't see how that has anything to do with us or should affect our decision making.
The USA is tariffing us, not just the red states.
-
Feel free to get on with that angry mobbing.
-
Yes cut the power. Please do it. Let our stupid government realize they are royally fucking up.
-
"to cut" is very different from "could cut"
-
I'd prefer we do more than kick Trump out. Like...guillotine them all.
-
So he’s a big ballsack?
-
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.

Why is the fairness meter of the article "unfair left leaning", when it just reports on something someone said?
I don't see any opinion piece there, but pretty much just direct quoting
How can this be even left or right leaning? Oo
-
Cutting off power 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
-
Do it unilaterally without discussing with US.
