#Trump #Tradewar

Ontario, Canada is threatening to meet Trump's tariffs by cutting electrical power exports to utilites across the border.

Let's hope this spreads to a cutoff of exports of tar sands "oil" from the provinces where it originates. This will either force Trump to kneel before a Canadian throne or (better) greatly reduce the use of one of the most destructive forms of fossil fuel in the world.

UPDATE: at the moment Alberta doesn't have the spine for this, but in an escalating trade war that could easily change

Just imagine the consequences for Trump if owners of 10MPG flag trucks have to pay $8 a gallon or more for gasoline. For a 25 gallon tank that only goes 250 miles, that's a $200 fillup possibly several times a week.

I've seen the idea floated of export taxes on oil and uranium to the US. Feds are gonna have a tricky game to play in avoiding cratering the revenues they need to keep Canada functional given our dependence on American markets.
Those taxes need to be big ones
I agree, but we'll see. Canada has some cards to play, but as I gestured at, we don't have a totally free hand here. If done wrong, the blowback could be really bad.
