U.S. President Donald Trump has imposed a new round of tariffs targeting Canada, Mexico and China.

Summary

Ontario Premier Doug Ford warned that Canada could cut electricity exports to the U.S. in retaliation for Donald Trump’s new tariffs on Canadian goods.

The U.S. imposed a 25% tariff on most Canadian imports, citing border security concerns. Ford emphasized that U.S. states like New York and Michigan rely on Canadian energy and should “feel the pain.”

Canadian officials also announced $155 billion in counter-tariffs.

If enacted, energy restrictions would likely raise prices in the U.S., escalating trade tensions between the two countries.

    Feel free to look up what country most of the world’s solar panels are produced in.

    Irrelevant. The fact that they are manufactured there does not equate to them being used there.

    Feel free to look up what country has the most high speed rail miles.

    Also irrelevant. Most of Europe uses electrified rail.

    Feel free to look up what country created the world’s biggest hydroelectric project.

    Not a good argument. The ecological damage caused by monolithic damn projects is massive. While they are “renewable” once brought online, they aren’t a good overall option. Smaller damns that do not disrupt the natural flow of a body of water is the modern preferred method.

    Feel free to look up which countries are leveling off carbon emissions ahead of commitments

    It sure isn’t China. That was literally the topic of one of the links I shared. They’ve been lying about their carbon credits. And they’ve been building TWO COAL POWER PLANTS PER WEEK FOR YEARS!

    I’ve said that a few times to the point I’m getting suspicious…
