Canadian industry experts, union leaders issue dire warnings about tariff effects
Several premiers are decrying U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to impose punishing tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods and calling for a powerful retaliatory response from Ottawa and the country as a whole.
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey said on Saturday that "we’re in a moment that is historic, an existential threat to the country. It’s not just an economic attack — I believe this to be an attack on Canadians, an attack on their values, on our sovereignty.
“It’s a moment where we need to stand strong and united in such an assault,” Furey told CBC News.
There is a flaw in using electricity as our mallet - the people it will hit the most are in border states (I used to live in VT which is totally dependent on HydroQuebec)… unfortunately Trump may genuinely not give a shit about a lot of the people complaining about the increased electricity costs.
I’d suggest oil - we should be moving off of it anyways so let’s just shut down the pipelines and starve the US out.
