Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"
-
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.

For now.

Ya, all of South America just out here proud of Vespucci, the pickle dealer. First thing they say landing in Tokyo for a visit. "Hello, I'm American," they say.

All based on the dollar belling the oil reserve currency, when other countries switch America's going to be the first fourth world country.

I'm talking about stuff like this
-
New York, the blue state? Canada is likely bluffing, as that's a wet dream for Trump.

Western NY is super red. Saw loads of Trump flags on lawns in 2022, not even a presidential election year. Very kind and friendly people though.
