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.
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.
They’re not entitled to my humour.
Bradbury warned against catering to them as well, in Fahrenheit 451. What a long strange trip it’s been to get to this place.
