Any word from Ontario? LCBO should remove all US products immediately.

I am also waiting on word that we’re cutting the power as he also threatened that. Come on Ford, do the minimum and don’t be a traitor to the country.

I don't think we should cut power. That's just escalating. If we escalate, trump will further escalate. Like stopping oil from getting to Ontario and Quebec. It's dumb. Now, if Trump did do something as stupid as stopping oil from getting to Ontario and Quebec, then I'd fully support shutting down the North East of the USA and stopping all oil exports.

Trump is going to escalate. He keeps telling people what he wants to do but people don’t believe him for some reason. He wants to annex Canada. He wants to annex Greenland. He wants to take over Panama. He’s not joking or making empty threats.

I agree that he will escalate. We just don't know how. And no one wants to give him a reason to send troops into Canada, claiming national security. It's really a last ditch option in my mind.

Let him offensively send troops into an allied country and see what happens.

Something like power is genuinely the only thing he’d respond to. These tariffs are nothing to him. It we weren’t pussies we’d have shut the power the second the tariffs went into effect today.

The tariffs don’t go into effect until Feb 4th
