Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"
-
Got it. The Americans who have been struggling against this shit storm are still allowed to communicate.
-
On the slim bright side maybe just maybe this might make the US think of renewable energy, it’s why China invests so much into it to prevent relying on countries for oil.
Ehh who am I kidding, that’s not going to happen at all.
-
I think you had a reading comprehension fail.
-
On the other hand, our formerly quasi-municipal energy company is now owned by a Canadian conglomerate. I'd not mind unwinding that.
Like it or not, we are all connected across North America.
-
In the US, reporting on simple facts makes you “radical left” while obvious propaganda makes you “right leaning”.
-
Doug Ford is the last idiot I want to hear anything from.
-
Broadcast it live on PBS!
-
Sometimes I go look at r/conservative just to take temperature, and on returning to political communities on lemmy I find the same ad hominem insults and dehumanizing efforts as over there, certainly less of it and less virulent, but just as spiteful and aggressive.
I'm all for being upset when it's appropriate, but I am afraid that political affiliations are no guarantee of sanity or reasoning.
-
Or even better: Discuss it with Ukraine, US gets no say in the deal.

those states are all pretty blue.
Minnesota is. Michigan tends to be (especially now that our districts are drawn independently), but we voted for Trump as a state. And New York is mostly red except for NYC.
I almost want to see our power bills skyrocket in Michigan. But at the same time I know full well the dipshits who voted red (including my own family) will blame everyone else before they blame the people who might end abortion. So it won’t matter. They won’t learn. Instead we’ll all suffer because of their idiocy and they’ll continue to think that we’re winning.
(In fact they’ll be thrilled because it will mean increased oil and natural gas production to close the gap in demand.)
-
You may not like him but right now he's the Premier that took the lead to respond to Trump.
-
You're supposed to click where you think it should go. It's a voting mechanism.
-
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
-
More likely they'll reopen coal plants
-
You say that but the other team went far into your capitol and they looked well nourished enough.
-
Oh, how disappointing, I thought leftists crossed a broad spectrum of thinking and many were annoyingly, mutually, critical.
Which semi-fictional political segment generalization is self-reflexive then?
-
Vermont in particular is heavily dependent on imported energy.
-
But also - we invite secession!
-
Because many people in the US (and elsewhere, sadly) are not media-literate enough to understand the difference between the veracity of an article and their opinion about it.
