How is it an act of war?

It was Doug Ford who suggested switching off the power to 1.5 million american homes and that the americans had better have a pack of batteries 😂

Canada fuels American growth: supplying 99% of their natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports, and 60% of crude oil imports, I don’t think they want us to stop sending it

@newjaninev2 To me it doesn't sound like a threat, it sounds like a person reminding us that is what could happen. Americans have seem to forgotten that we used to be a diplomatic nation that makes deals and had a network for electricity and other stuff. Our power used to be where programs that Elon ironically got rid of that's where our power was.
I don't take it as a threat, I take it that someone gave the same energy us Americans give out, doesn't feel so good when the shoe is on the other foot eh.

@SatanBurger Absolutely.
That guy who owns all the MAGA puppets talks about a 60 billion dollar trade deficit but deliberately fails to say that it's 60 billion dollars of power asked for by the americans.
In fact, per capita Canadians spend around seven times more on american goods than americans spend on Canadian goods.
Keep Calm and Carney On!

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.

I think you'd better read up on what's an "Act of War" and what's not!!!
Cutting off commercial electricity exports as economic retaliation during a trade dispute is not an "act of war" under international law, though it represents a severe form of economic coercion.

I googled "Threatening to cut electricity is an act of war" and didn't get much in the way of confirmation. Didn't do any better with "cut electricity is an act of war"
