Ontario premiere says he will cut power to the US "with a smile"

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

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

Oil runs the production of electricity from the reactor.

Yes?

We will take it slowly for you.

I'll say it louder for those brain cells hidden in the back of that empty skull of yours. The reactor runs on nuclear fission, which is the process that powers the sun. Naturally, you're wrong. The only time external power is needed is to initiate fission. Even then, you can use other reactors to initiate fission in other reactors.

 

[Godboy]

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?

We can afford it. Can Canada? Lets find out!

I stand corrected.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

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

What policies are going to cause unemployment ?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Housing market will slow.

So, that's what you're hoping for?

We are hoping Trump regains his senses.

He won't.

You will suffer.

Because of Trump.

Only your side will suffer to Trump and it's not only very enjoyable, but we've got four more years to see you suffer even more.

You will, as well, MAGA minion. He hates all of us because of 2020 and after.

To him, you are at fault as well.

I've been suffering the whole time under Biden.

Me thinks Canada thinks they're a tad more important than they really are

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a massive, nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma, heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions in its core, radiating the energy from its surface mainly as visible light and infrared radiation with 10% at ultraviolet energies. It is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. The Sun has been an object of veneration in many cultures. It has been a central subject for astronomical research since antiquity.

You should have talked quieter

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

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.

Read the article FFS:

“If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything — including cut off their energy with a smile on my face,” Ford told reporters at a mining convention in downtown Toronto, the Toronto Sun reported.

“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 said.

The Sun reported Ford said he would go dollar-for-dollar in matching tariffs: “That’s exactly what we’re going to do.”

Canada supplies electricity to the USA, he's not talking about fuel or gas or anything to generate electricity, but electricity itself, they supply the US grid directly.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

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.

You're stupider even than your fucking dingbat avatar:

Ouch! looks like the cost of US flights might nudge up a tad!

Thanks Uncle Donny !

How is not selling someone something an act of war?

ask the apologists for Japan in WW2 they all claim that out refusal to sell to Japan was Justification for Pearl Harbor.

Ontario has the right to decide who it sells its electricity to. 47 places a tariff on Candian goods, Ontario responds. Hardly an act of war.

the companies that produce the power and sell the power have contracts with the transmission companies that receive the power.

They can't just unilaterally stop supplying said power because some pompous ass of a politician told them to do so.

Only in blue states no great loss there.

 

[0311]

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

Dream on. It would take years to do what you describe. Not to mention tariffs on Chinese would increase the amount of money to build equipment. Try thinking....
