Ontario slapping 25% surcharge on U.S.-bound electricity Monday, Ford says | RCI

Thanks for the correction. I'd only seen news that he promised to do that, but not that he had.
-
I think the damage is done. I hope to never see American liquor in stores ever again.
-
I’m American I agree. Your country doesn’t deserve our businesses if we have a dictator running our country
-
It's too bad they can't just do 50% on MAGA households and non voters. Somewhere in NY there is someone who actively campaigned to prevent this and continues to protest and they're getting a 25% price hike anyway.
At least we can target businesses and billionaires more directly, although unlike the average voter they need a lot, lot more pain before they change.
-
We will be happy to come back as soon as America enacts stronger protections to prevent this from happening again and dumps Trump. Nothing wrong the the American people, it's just one American and one south African than are ruining everything for everyone.
-
I'm certain he's doing it for the wrong reasons, but it's nice to see the angry raging conservative attacking a genuine asshole for once.
-
Exactly -- the threat of tariffs -- and annexation! -- must not only stop, but be refuted forever by a new treaty, signed by the US. Promising both will stop, for good, is the only remedy now.
-
You're forgetting about the 70 million folks who voted for him. Terrible hateful folks
-
Any foreigner should avoid visiting US or buying US products to put pressure too.
It is crazy to advocate for it, as I live in US, but this administration needs pressure from everywhere.
-
There's definitely a lot wrong with a large portion of the American people.
-
What kind of protections though he is in violation of
NAFTA2erm.. USMCA that he negotiated himself. Technically what he is doing is illegal, but Republican Congress is letting him do it. -
Honestly he's even doing it for the right reasons. His country has been economically attacked. Not to respond would just make it worse.
-
Since Trump wants to complain about the trade deficit, Canada should cap exports to be equal to imports from the US. Poof no more trade deficit.
-
And Trump cares that these blue states will be cut off why?
-
I'm ok with this and live in one of the affected states.
-
It will likely take awhile for this to have any effect. I know at least in my state the utility needs to give a 30 day notice of rate hike and then that needs to then go to committee within public utility commission, who will basically arbitrate the request for increase.
Consequently, my supplier of electricity is a wholly owned Canadian company...so they'd actually be paying the increase until a rate hike was approved. Also, would a punitive rate hike even be approved?
They have enough trouble getting a 1% rate hike though for building infrastructure.
