Canada to cut off electricity to US states: "Need to feel the pain"
-
I agree. I think we'd be better off supporting their new independent nation[-states?] than absorbing them. Too many systemic issues and too large of a population to change overnight, not to mention all the guns. Maybe we could accept Hawaii, I think they're far enough removed from the continental states.

Thank you. Californian over here. I am disgusted with what our government and the magtards that voted them in are doing. Do what you need to do to defend yourselves but please keep in mind Americans are not all awful.

I'm curious, is there somewhere you can see votes broken down by county, or preferably more granular than that? I remember seeing an article a month ago about one of those small Alaskan panhandle towns that relies on its bigger BC neighbour town. They were begging the BC/Canadian government to take it easy on them because they didn't vote for this but the article immediately fact checked them with an Alaskan government stat showing that town in particular voted something like 80% for Trump. My point is, I've been hearing a lot from both Point Roberts and Port Angeles and I'm curious if they're full of shit or not.

Don't announce it, just do it and observe the panic...and then the begging for it to come back but with a 25% hike in prices.

So Trump is not acting based on goals he has for the US, he is acting on goals for the global oligarchy, doesn't matter if you're a Canadian or US billionaire he wants you to be able to continue exploiting.
If putting Canada under the jurisdiction of a more compliant country like the US makes that easier great, if instead the conservative parties in Canada can be propped up great. You have plenty of MAGAs in Canada, They're not just in the US, so we all could do some house cleaning. The US is just the cautionary tale.

I don’t think we should be doing this in the middle of winter. Plus it’s going to affect blue states
US citizen here, in a blue state. Do it, you're doing us a favor. Let's get those guys up there to get out the pitchforks, let's see people freezing on the news.
The current blue is purple, let's make it blue again.
Libs need to be in the streets. The Maga viewpoint will fall as the stock market shutters and their kids are in danger of getting drafted to fight a war on two sides.

I remember going to Niagara. It was summer and kinda not all that hot. Home was in the 90's. It pinged my brain, this is like a heatwave to these people....

This is a great comment.
I think that Americans have forgotten that not everything in the world fits into US partisan politics.

Can't with them bone spurs

This!! This should have been the very first thing! Retaliatory tariffs hurt the consumers, companies and so the economy overall.
Reversing the insane IP laws that prevent people from modifying, repairing, upgrading their American products would open business opportunities and lower costs for Canadians.The main issue is the benefit will be seen on medium term, not days/weeks, and if it is under threat to be reversed again as soon as Trump backs down on his tariffs, not many will take the risk to invest in the maintenance and repair sector.

I don’t know what that is so can’t be offended
A wumao referees to someone who is a paid shill for the CCP, they get paid 50¢ per comment they make.
Renewable energy is not just renewable electricity generation but applying it to more energy users. A Deisel bus is a dirty polluter that can’t use renewable energy, but a battery electric bus is a way to use renewable energy for transportation.
Sure, that's a valid point. But it becomes entirely invalidated when you consider that most of that electrification comes from coal plants they're building at breakneck pace. They're averaging two entire coal power plants per week. That's over 100 coal fired power plants per year. They are building more than ALL other countries combined.
Then there's the consideration that your argument only applies to the very few pages they can actually do that, like in major urban cities. Everywhere else in the country they still have to rely on ICE transport out of practicality.
And this also ignores that their renewable initiatives (outside of EVs) are giant shams.

Talk of state colours? In an international trade war? Until there is an active civil war the rest of the world does not care about your internal tribalism.

Definitely not. Port Angeles has a major ferry service going back and forth to Victoria. I love that ferry ride - you often get to see grey whales on the trip, and god damn, Vicky is just one of the most beautiful cities. I love it so much. I wish I could move there.
I'm not sure this gets granular enough. I don't think that the upper peninsula is as blue as this map suggests, seeing as when I was there before the election, it was just littered with Trump signs. https://bestneighborhood.org/conservative-vs-liberal-map-washington/
Far be it from me to suggest a Fox site, but this also breaks it down: https://www.fox13seattle.com/news/wa-county-voted-president
Anyhow, the GOP voters will, in the words of the inimitable Ricky from Trailer Park Boys, "cut off their nose for spiderface."

When you find out how America works, you're going to be quite embarrassed by this comment.
-
If Trump's idiotic trade war with our allies turns blue states red, then it's no longer quite as idiotic as we all think.
-
Also it can only be paid in avocado toast.

keep in mind Americans are not all awful
Thnx for the reminder. I am trying, but I admit it's not easy nowadays so it's needed every now and then. I think by far the biggest part of Europe won't argue when I say we totally lost trust and respect for the USA.

Yall lost and then rigged 24, get fucking real
