Yeah.

Just yell “national emergency” and do whatever the fuck you want.

Wasn't it trump who said they don't need Canadians electricity initially? Along with our oil, gas, and lumber? Dudes a toddler who needs a bottle and a nap. over 300 million Americans exist, and this was the best they could vote in. A glorified Russian asset who was bought and paid for by a South African nazi and tech billionaire oligarchs.

Seriously America? You can do better.

They don’t even stop domestic electric companies from hiking prices exponentially. LOL clowntown.

Ontario has agreed to suspend its 25 per cent surcharge on electricity exports to the U.S., a joint statement from Premier Doug Ford and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick states.

What the fuck?!

I'm not surprised at all. Ford is a well known Trump cuck. He has to make appropriate noises to keep sitting at the top, but he was never going to hold fast on the surcharges.

He is one of the leaders in the country I am looking up to right now, him and 9 other premiers really. Saskatchewan’s DUI hire and Smith are the two I am looking down on, they have really sold out to the terrorist.

Yeah FFS, really?!

Says the guy who literally decided to slap tariffs on Canada over a flimsy pretext.

If his goal is really to depreciate the USD, he’s doing a fucking good job while sabotaging Canada at the same time. Not sure if he thinks this’ll make Canadians consider moving their businesses there, which is one of his goals, but this is also a man-child who doesn’t understand empathy and assumes everyone works like the stone-cold (failure of a) businessperson he is. There’ll be some who’d do that, but idk if they’ll find a depreciated USD all that alluring to earn. Trump essentially wants the US to become China though, as the global factory of sorts, and wants to force others to buy US products, in a way that so far seems to be more heavy-handed than China, who typically looks more for weak points and pressures other nations into buying their products if they don’t already buy enough. He claims that this’ll make Americans rich, but in truth, this only enriches the rich, just like, well, right in China.

Might be my dumb 2 cents but it’s what I’ve gathered from the material consequences of his actions so far.

Clearly, they are allowed.

Well he was right, I guess. We got nothing a Ford canceled them.
