Trump is wielding the tariff stick willy nilly and it’s beginning to adversely affect U.S. companies and the markets.

Quote:Ontario slaps 25% increase on electricity exports to U.S. in response to Trump's trade

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.

Ford's office said the new market rules require any generator selling electricity to the U.S. to add a 25% surcharge to the U.S. Ontario's government expects it to generate revenue of $300,000 Canadian (US$208,000) to $400,000 Canadian (US$277,000) per day, “which will be used to support Ontario workers, families and businesses.”

The new surcharge is in addition to the federal government's initial $30 billion Canadian (US$21 billion) worth of retaliatory tariffs have been applied on items like American orange juice, peanut butter, coffee, appliances, footwear, cosmetics, motorc

Well, it's official. Everyone's electricity bill is going up.

We don't need no stinking Canadian Megawatts!

With Drill Baby Drill and FRACK FRACK FRACK we will have plenty of American MAGA Megawatts!

Oil price has been declining for some reason....was at 80, now holding around 66.

Also, new. Trump has doubled the tariff on Steel and aluminum from Canada in response to the 25% increase power cost from Ontario. Seems Canada does not want us to have the same tariffs as they charge us and wants a trade war. Nor do they want to allow our companies the same access to their markets as theirs has to ours.

Oil prices only drop for three reasons. Either disagreements among opec nations, new supplies coming online in non-opec nations, or credible predictions of decline in global GDP.

Guess which one this is.

Then explain what you actually meant when you said "Well, it's official. Everyone's electricity bill is going up." that isn't evident in the concise phrase itself.

I think Canada found out lolol

The Ontario PM Ford is a bit upset as all the sub-assemby  plants they currently have are going to get moved back to the US. They have been subsidizing these moves for years. Now if he increases the price of electricity we just stop buying it forever, and figure a way to not need him anymore.

The Alberta PM came out promising no new tariffs.  The issue they have a heavy oil, there are not a lot of refineries that can even process it. We have most of those. Also, it is in a place that is tough from a logistics view to get to another country. So it just stays in the ground if we get in a tariff war.

I question his tactics. They’re unsettling for the markets but they also seem to be getting results. The tariff standoff with the Canadians is drawing some concession talks.

You're two hrs late with your MAGA news


You need to stop listening to Trump. The US, Canada and Mexico trade essentially tariff free. Trump signed the deal.

Trump is lying to you.

Being nice has not worked. Trump tried his last term and they violated the agreement. It seems other countries feel entitled to charge us more tariffs then we charge them.

More jibberish talk without any facts just solely believing a proven liar. 

World leaders have called him out on several occasions.

Your Orange Christ is an embarrasent to the world.

Looking at available capacity steel tariffs will have negligible impacts. Our steel companies are as efficient (one exception) if not more than any in the world.

Aluminum is another kettle of fish because of Alcoa. Alcoa is a globalist company based in Pittsburgh. The Canadian smelters are mostly owned indirectly by them. The last time Trump hit Canada with 10% aluminum tariffs Alcoa got an exemption. This gave them a 10% advantage. They did not hold cost, they charged the extra 10%. In other words they just made more money. They have shifted production to Canada and closed US smelters. The Warrick smelter (2022), Wanatchee (2020), Intalco (2022). Another independant smelter was basically run out of business due to that exemption.Magnitude 7 Metals LLC aluminium smelter in Marston, Missouri. This was announced January 2024. We can restart these facilities and actually have little impact as well.
