Ontario’s premier, the leader of Canada’s most populous province, announced that effective Monday his province is charging 25% more for electricity to 1.5 million Americans in response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.
Ontario provides electricity to Minnesota, New York and Michigan.
“President Trump’s tariffs are a disaster for the U.S. economy. They’re making life more expensive for American families and businesses,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said in a statement. “Until the threat of tariffs is gone for good, Ontario won’t back down. We’ll stand strong, use every tool in our toolkit and do whatever it takes to protect Ontario.”
Ford has said Ontario’s tariff would remain in place despite the one-month reprieve from Trump, noting a one month pause means nothing but more uncertainty.
Fuck yeah. Feel sorry for the blue guys but MI went red and I couldn’t give a flying fuck about the fate of the republican traitor filth. Am American, but we all have to face the fucking consequences and find the motivation to change shit, by any means necessary.
Good! Give it to this orange clown
I don’t care for Ford nor did I vote for him, but I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt on this.
Americans need to know this isn’t Canada being an asshole, this is the U.S. having an asshole in power that’s causing all this.
We know, bruh. We’d love it if the orange traitor shitcunt had a painful and debilitating aneurysm on live TV. We don’t get this bullshit treatment of Canada (and Mexico, Europe and particularly Ukraine, etc.)
I’d pay to watch that televised on TV.
12/10 would tune in for the special.
Ford’s a piece of shit, but I totally agree with him on this.
Art of the Deal
As a Michigander I’d be upset if my state didn’t vote for Donald Trump. We deserve this.
I just hope the redcap traitor filth suffers disproportionately more.
What’s good for the goose is good for the 'gander
So where’s Quebec in this? I would have figured they’d be trying to outdo Ontario in the FuckUS movement.
Buy the ticket, take the ride!
I have family in MI that voted for the orange turd…just waiting for this to turn into an LAMF moment for them.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvotes.
“Is tangible, clear, and vocal action better than silent protest that leaves the only colleague with a spine out to dry?” you ask, and people have the audacity to boo - ironically a stronger push back than wearing a polically motivated t-shirt.
It’s lemmy.
The offended seek to be offended, and here it’s first-past-the-post for downvotes.
I offended someone, and the lemmings appeared.

Bradbury warned against catering to them as well, in Fahrenheit 451. What a long strange trip it’s been to get to this place.
