BREAKING: The Premier of Ontario throws down the gauntlet to Donald Trump over his disastrous tariffs by threatening to cut off electricity to the United States: "They need to feel the pain."
And he was just getting started...
"If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything — including cut off their energy — with a smile on my face," said Premier Doug Ford.
"And I'm encouraging every other province to do the same. Quebeuc. Manitoba. B.C. We all have to act in unison out east," he continued.
"They rely on our energy. They need to feel the pain. They want to come at us hard, we're going to come back twice as hard," he stated.
He said that his government is ready to tack a surcharge on every megawatt of energy that American states purchase from Ontario. They are also prepared to "rip up" a $100 million deal with MAGA oligarch Elon Musk's Starlink company.
Trump is slated to sign 25% tariffs on Canadian goods tomorrow, with a 10% tariff on energy. He stated that there is "no room left for Mexico or for Canada" to cut a deal to avoid the tariffs.
"They’re all set. They go into effect tomorrow," said Trump.
He claims that the tariffs are designed to force Canada and Mexico to do even more to stop the flow of undocumented migrants and fentanyl into the United States — although it's unclear what, if anything, more these countries could do.
In truth, Trump is just slapping these tariffs into place because he thinks that it looks tough for his xenophobic base and he has somehow convinced himself that tariffs are paid by foreign countries rather than American consumers.
The economic fallout will be immense and could end up pitching the United States into a full-blown recession. MAGA voters wanted cheaper groceries and instead they're going to skyrocket the cost of everything.
