Summary
Canadian leaders, particularly Ontario Premier Doug Ford, are considering retaliatory measures against Trump’s tariff threats, including restricting U.S. alcohol imports and cutting electricity exports to 1.5 million American homes.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has remained relatively calm despite Trump’s provocations, but Ontario’s response signals rising tensions.
Analysts warn that Trump’s tariff policies could provoke significant economic retaliation from Canada, disrupting key cross-border energy supplies and trade.
The situation highlights the potential fallout from escalating U.S.-Canada trade disputes under the incoming administration.

You’re referring to a guy who has made a fairly successful* career ripping people off and not paying his bills.
* Success as measured by the fact that a) he’s not in jail and 2) he’s the potus… again.
I thought Elon Musk was POTUS by proxy.
Are we saying Former Husband to Pop Star Grimes is the real President? Cause I imagine that would annoy Trump.
He bought Trump for $134 million. Cheap, for him.
The goal is to collapse the system.
To answer your last question. Everyone.
Article said 1.5 million.
1.5 million powered by ontario, so the people in ontario lose to. If quebec follows suit, then more people suffer.
X’s and Y’s? I’m having high school flashbacks over here. I dont know whether to orgasm or cry.
