Ontario’s Premier Threatens to Cut Off Electricity to U.S. — Says Republicans Will ‘Feel Pain Like They’ve Never Felt Before’ (VIDEO)​

The premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, has threatened the U.S. over Donald Trump’s plans to impose tariffs on Canadian exports.

We keep the lights on for 1.5 million homes in manufacturing in New York, in Michigan, and in Minnesota.
If he wants to destroy our economy and our families, I will shut down the electricity going down to the U.S. And I’m telling you, we will do it.

Ford then went on to say that Americans, particularly those in red states, would feel immense pain as his retaliatory measures.

Ex WNY as of 08/2018. Screw FUAC & FUKH too!
Very sad and potentially a bad situation. But people need to remember the Dems and especially Obama’s war on the coal industry which destroyed and shut down NY’s coal power plants (Niagara Mohawk and NYSEG’s plants across NYS), and then the Dems forced the closure of the Indian Point nuclear power plant,- all in favor of solar and wind power while buying power from Canada, instead of being self sufficient and energy independent.

Now, people may finally realize the utter stupidity the Dems actions have created.

Hydro-Québec’s $6 Billion New York Line on Track for 2026 Start​


  • Canadian power major Hydro-Québec expects to start exporting electricity from Québec to New York via the $6 billion underground and underwater Champlain Hudson Power Express by May 2026. It also hopes to restart work soon on another link to the US: the New England Clean Energy Connect.
    The company recently completed the acquisition of Great River Hydro, taking control of its 13 hydro stations totaling 589 megawatts in New England. “Our view is that these assets are going to have a great future…the natural course of events will make these assets valued in a way they are not currently,” Abergel said.
    He expressed concern, however, about the time taken to receive approval for grid projects in the US. New transmission links are critical for energy transition. “The Biden administration has talked about tripling the grid, but if it takes 15 years to approve one link, some rethinking is required,” said Abergel.

This year – 2023 – is what we call a staging year, which involves preparing the route for cable laying and the construction of the zero-emissions converter station in Astoria, Queens, in New York City. On that site, our partner TDI [Blackstone-owned Transmission Developers] is dismantling six oil tanks that have been there since 1940 for fossil-fuel generation and remediating the area. Further, 2024 and 2025 will be construction and cable-laying years with power flowing in 2026.

Why on earth are we getting power from Canada? Why is this even a thing. All the solar panels I see getting installed must not be working because 5 years ago there were none. Now if you go out to orleans and genesee county you can’t avoid them. Orchards and cabbage fields replaced with solar power yet we need power from Canada?? Odd and something doesn’t add up.
Maybe this could be a good thing for us to be more independent. Think of how much this could cost Canada and how much they have spent on this project. If they get no return for this then it could bankrupt them.
If they cut off power maybe we should cut off alcohol to them. I know it would hurt our businesses here but think of the mayhem it would cause them with all the drinks in withdrawal.

We don't need to "cut them off". They already said they don't need us.

American alcohol pulled from shelves in some Canadian provinces amid Trump's tariffs

Some Canadian provinces ordered distributors to stop selling American alcohol products in response to President Trump's 25% tariff on goods.
www.usatoday.com

Trump is starting trade wars that he is going to lose. Sometimes tariffs make sense. The Canadian ones don't. The amount of illegal migrants and drugs coming from Canada is tiny. The southern border absolutely needs addressed, no question there. It's been thay way for a long time and Biden was a failure. That doesn't mean we should start a dumb trade war with Canada though.

Start the reactors back up, if they're not filled with concrete already.

I never understood why the dems hated nuclear. Yes, the waste is toxic, but the impact is so much lower than digging coal out of the ground. Especially considering waste contains something like 90% usable fuel, once we have the infrastructure to repurpose that spent fuel we're reducing waste output significantly (which is still proportionally low compared to other fuel methods.)

Do we not have better safe guards in place for this shit since then though? I could be wrong, but there is a ton of regs around nuclear and it's still profitable.

We do. I didn't say it was rational, but it's why. There were a number of high profile nuclear incidents and that shaped the narrative surrounding nuclear power, even though those arguments are now outdated.

Invading America's closest ally is certainly better than backing off tariffs that were put in place in bad faith.

It's literally part of Canada's national identity to "not be American". If you think they're gonna bend over you're wrong. They will eat shit and smile while doing it, just to make America eat it too.

Took only six weeks for trump to convince his supporters that they should hate Canada.

Stock market down big since his inauguration, prices continue to ramp up. Are we great yet, guys?

They need us. We are one of their largest buyers of certain goods. Does that mean we do t need them? No. We need each other. Trunk isn’t asking for much and co soldering they blame us for all their illegal guns and murders they should be happy to help keep drugs off our streets and guns of theirs. Many illegals come through Canada as well not that hard but nope they hate Trump so they refuse.

Worrying about the 1% of illegals and drugs that come from Canada and not focusing on the 98% that come from the southern border is fucking dumb. Like worrying about a pinhole on your aft when there's a 6 foot hole in your bow letting the ocean in.

I don't dislike the Canadians (except Turdeau, of course). Seriously though, while I enjoy the rare beer I drink, - (Labatt Blue), and buy it down here, there are plenty of other beers, - American made beers, that I find just as enjoyable. And while I have always enjoyed a good doughnut, Tim Horton's are OK as far as that goes, - but there are countless other doughnut makers and sellers around. WTH, - the freshly made doughnuts sold down here at QT gas stations are ALL better than any I have bought at Timmy Ho's.

Beer and doughnuts off the list, what else do I want from Canada? Nothing much comes to mind, except maybe a big ass "Thank You" to the US for us having a military presence strong enough to also protect their asses so that they barely spend ANYTHING militarily.

So, if they want to be assholes about things, including the trade imbalance we have with them where they stick it to us, I say Fuck Off, Eh!

So Canada's basic concept is: we will spank America with tariff's, but America can not put tariffs on Canada?

basically, Canada can fuck America, but we can't put Tariffs on Canada.

And this is why America MUST BECOME energy independent. That way we won't need Ontario's electricity, GFY asshole

Trump will say, okay then, the tariff is now 50%.

It will be a big, beautiful tariff, a tariff like the world has never seen before.

Fuck Canada...build a border wall at the northern border, close the cross-over points, and then seal the border completely.

For the last 50 years the fUSA "gives a fuck" about everyone except.................Americans.

There are cities in this country so fucked up (ChiRaq, Bal'more, etc) that they're virtual war zones, and have been for 30+ years.

American tax $$$$$$$$$$$ for Americans of all colors, ethnicities, religions...who gives a fuck...as long as you're an American.

Let's fix "us" first........................

I don't owe any Canucks fucking anything.....

So, Mr. Ontario "Premier".............
