Summary

Ontario will impose a 25% surcharge on electricity exports to New York, Michigan, and Minnesota starting Monday in retaliation for Trump’s tariffs on Canadian goods.

Premier Doug Ford warned U.S. governors and vowed to maintain the surcharge until all tariffs are lifted.

Canada has already imposed $30 billion in retaliatory tariffs, with more planned.

Ford also threatened to cut power to the states by April and banned U.S. firms from bidding on Ontario contracts. A $100M SpaceX deal for rural internet was also scrapped in response.

    I cut off a Canadian guy I was friends with recently, this guy agreed with everything Trump was doing.

    Told him I don’t associate with Trump supporters, even weirder you’re Canadian (and lives in Canada)

    He said he didn’t support trump, but reads all the policies front to back and agrees with them.

    I said ok, bye and blocked his ass, we can talk again when you get invaded and become 51st state you love him so much.

    Wtf is going on?? He had some bullshit reply to everything like he was Canadian maga.

    It basically boils down to this: Trump is a lying, racist, rapist.

    How do you put trust in anything he says? I can show you 200 lies, with evidence, just in the last week. He loves Putin and himself, gives no shits about us. He’s already broken long existing agreements with other countries, he CANNOT be trusted, no matter how good what he says sounds. His goal is to exact revenge on those that don’t like him or have said something bad about him, his skin is so thin. You don’t “accidentally” rape a person, he is an absolute terrible human being who deserves zero respect from anyone. Fuck Trump in the neck with a metal pipe.

      Someone I know just keeps telling me he disagrees with every policy that’s bad, while also saying he agrees with Trump for 50 things per the 5 he disagrees with.

      Anyway that relationship is very sour as you can imagine
