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.

    Good for Ontario. The first step to countering whats going on in the US is to reject their narrative and framing in more or less everything, and draw your own. Each person has to do this, and Ontario doing it first certainly makes a pattern for the rest of us to follow. We’ve let them define the language and terms around politics for far too long, and we need regime change from our abysmal two party oligarchy system.
