Canada threatens electricity cut to the USA.

Over 20 U.S. states import Canadian power, heavily supporting border regions in New England, New York, the Midwest (such as Minnesota and Michigan), and the Pacific Northwest.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s decision to exit trade talks with the Trump administration late Friday, citing excessive demands from Washington in exchange for duty relief. The U.S. enacted 50% tariffs Saturday on roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, prompting Carney to announce matching dollar-for-dollar counter-tariffs starting Sept. 8.

Threatening to cut electricity is an act of war. This is the excuse Trump needs to put US troops on the ground north of the 49th parallel. It will be a whole lot easier than invading Iran.

Countries have a right not to give into excessive demands from any govt. Govts including ours have a duty to come to the least resistance solution possible for the well being of people's welfare and should always do things with citizens in mind.

Cutting the electricity exports is not an act of war, it's simply saying they don't want to give into the increasing demands of an insane administration. Does it create tension and escalates? Yes it does but the US is also doing this by not being reasonable.

The damage has already been done in the Iran war, we been in this war for awhile and you're just now saying that starting another war possibly with Canada will make it better. Putting troops there is doing nothing but declaring more hostility.

If you think cutting the electricity exports is something to whine about imagine when we keep bullying countries and someone metaphorically comes in to slap the American out of us.

I suggest quitting, tariffs are a bad idea and while a lot of things are damaged beyond repair, sometimes we need to walk away before we get hit. If Americans cared, they'd stop this nonsense.
