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.
Do what you have to do it’s all good. I’m going to be part of the brain drain in this country. My wife and I are POC we are guaranteed first class tickets to death camps or be made slaves for existing. Our populations have been marginalized and kicked in the ribs for centuries. We have no reason to fight or to ‘stay and fix the country’ any more than the German Jews of last century did. I don’t want to be made responsible for what racist whites have enabled to happen in this country.
I’ve got quite the resume and I’ve been having trouble finding sponsors overseas. I would love to be a part of the brain drain.
I’m about to get my Mexican permanent residency 🥳
