Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"
-
Whole world needs to put 300 percent tarrifs on the US until they realise they are t percent of the world and aren't in a position to bully others.
China's going to eat their lunch if they keep things as they are.

Damn… your comment being at zero upvotes is making me realize just how much everyone hates us. I know zero isn’t really anything on the surface. But I would’ve thought your comment would resonate a little.
But naw, everyone is, rightfully, just fearing for their countries right now and wants to, understandably, punish.
I fucking hate my country rn, I protested today even. But I know we’re in a bad spot and I kinda looked to countries like Canada as our last hope in defeating the pieces of shit running our country.
Guess I was delusional that they would still prioritize us “good” ones and keep us safe. But like… why? Why would they?
Oh well, no one who’s lived in a collapsing empire throughout history wanted to. And a lot of people died, and they probably didn’t want to lol.
I hope I don’t die, but I hope for good to prevail more. And if I die in the process of the defeat of this fucked country, and the world order that follows is something better. So be it… shits rough.

Trump won’t care. Mostly hits blue states. He will probably cackle

Those bribe cheques certainly helped

Pain is fine. Pain is deserved. Pain needs to either be felt as a whole or target the most deserving.
But shutting off electricity mainly affects people without any power (
) and that had the awareness to vote against this horror. Trump and co will just laugh “see the poor snowflake liberals what happens when they import clean electricity instead of good old American coal”.I can’t argue that we don’t deserve it but I can hope for something more likely to help make a difference

Do it, but sadly it will affect the Blue States.

A quarter of the world's GDP, just saying.

Nobody would ever say it in real life. That's how you know it's for the terminally online smug huggers.

maybe this might make the US think of renewable energy
Probably the opposite. There are a lot of blue states in the NorthEast importing Canadian hydro as a cleaner energy source than burning fossil fuels. I’m sure the repugnicans line will be something like “if only they used good old American coal from Wyoming or West Virginia”

Ford was literally pro trump and congratulating him when he won, he pivoted almost immediately to gain favour with Canadians and it worked
-
Yep, taking Western money by Chinese companies buying Chinese renewable energy equipment and paying Chinese installers. Taking western money by building out renewable energy faster than the rest of the world combined, in their own country using their own companies with their own finances

Now that’s an idea! Hit them back where it hurts, right in the oligarchs

What right isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always right.
I can't blame people who just got slapped with a CoL increase because the great orange leader of the dipshit bigot brigade needed neded new meat to toss to his base. If you're throwing punches everywhere, some bystanders are gonna get bloody noses though.

That's exactly right; the policies that your government is putting forward only hurts middle and lower class on both sides of the border.
Honestly, the only way to overthrow a dictatorship is to roll heads. They're not going to be voted out, that's for sure.

Not sure, I don't live in Ontario anymore so I'm not so plugged in on provincial politics. It would certainly be very like Ford to make all these big aggressive moves but ultimately fuck over Ontarians in the process. But like I said, I'm not aware of the details, so that's just baseless speculation.

Doctorow likes to put it as “hitting them right in the dongle”.

70% of American voters allowed Trump to be elected by either voting for him or not voting. Only a minority of 30% tried to stand against him. I hope Trump has a hell of an impact on the 70%. Every one that cries that they voted for him but have lost their job or whatever fully deserve it. Nothing he is doing now wasn't known before the election. None of it is a surprise. The only surprise is that 70% of Americans supported him destroying their country.
