[Crepitus]

Any of you fellas live up there in the northeast?

You ready for 25% increase in your power bills?

Or how about that Canadian oil? ready to see gas prices jump even more?

Your fear-mongering is tiresome, dude.

A lot of our power down here in Georgia is derived through a nuclear plant, Plant Vogtle. We don't really rely on oil given we're running off a nuclear reactor.

But do prattle on.

Go the **** ahead Hosers......Hard to sell hydro power elsewhere.

yes, because they have so many more places they can sell it to.

Also it would screw over States sympathetic to left in the US.

What a ******* moron.

He's always been a big supporter of the police state. You respond with a tariff with counter-tariffs, you don't engage in an act of war.

He is used to his friends smacking around Canada citizens with a smile so he believes he can do the same to America.

I warned Canada. THey thought he was bluffing, even I thought so because it came out of the blue. Once he kept repeating his threats I suspected he was very serious.

I suspect Trump will tear of USMCA and go with bilateral agreements each with Canada and Mexico in 2-3 years time. Just my guess based on the trajectory of the speed of his efforts to bring back manufacturing.

How is not selling someone something an act of war?

The U.S countered Japans action during WWII by placing an embargo on oil.

The Pearl Harbor attack followed.

Our economy is so weak, so centrally controlled by nepotism and big government, especially with in the police apparatus that we KNOW that counter tariff wont work and our economy is to weak for them.

Thus, we try and go beyond the initial challenge of tariffs by hurting you more.

What if Trump retaliates by saying, "we are not going to defend ANY nation who doesn't pay 2% in NATO".

He has hundreds of options because Canada has destroyed our economy with a massive kakistocracy while kids like myself born poor while being exceptional students and athletes and kept "in my caste". In the U.S I could become V.P like Vance. In Canada, I get persecuted by those who have meddled in our lives and the economy for 150 years.

I'll smile when trump cuts off their imported US gasoline.

Maybe they can make up the 1.5 billion gallon shortfall in some provinces, maybe they can't in others.

Oh noes the US may have to rely more on it's own resources and create more jobs for it's citizens.

Not to mention in my area, we could get power from Lewiston.

Ah, so you are speculating.

You should be careful not to present that as a fact.

Gonna need them with all the unemployed people Elmo is making.

There is no speculation in confirmed history of which I am fairly well versed on most things WWII.

Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, primarily due to its need for natural resources, particularly oil, which was restricted by U.S. economic sanctions. The attack aimed to neutralize the U.S. Pacific Fleet, allowing Japan to expand its empire in Asia without immediate American interference.

What part of "we get our electricity from a nuclear reactor" did you not hear?

 

[ThisIsMe]

I like the part about "with a smile on my face" as if he's jolly about this..

To which I say go ahead...I'm there are things america could do...with a smile on their faces..
