Canada - Ontario Premier Doug Ford has threatened to cut electricity

At one stage, Premier Doug Ford of Ontario, Canada, has warned of the possibility of severing electricity supply to the United States in response to the consequences of the tariffs.

What too many forget is that Canada also imports electricity from the US.

British Columbia, who carbon taxed their citizens for years for no apparent reason, will be a net importer of electricity from the US for the 3rd consecutive year.

Canada is one of the world's most energy-rich countries, yet British Columbians (like many Canadians) pay some of the highest energy costs, while facing grid risks because this country is run by idiots.

This stark reality raises fundamental questions about the management of our energy resources. It's astonishing that a country with an abundance of hydroelectric power, oil, and natural gas reserves is unable to provide affordable energy to its citizens. Instead, we're forced to rely on our southern neighbors to supplement our energy needs, while our own resources remain underutilized.

The irony is that Canada has been touting its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, yet it's clear that our energy policies are driven more by ideological agendas than by common sense. The carbon tax, in particular, has been a regressive measure that has disproportionately affected low- and middle-income households, without yielding any significant environmental benefits.

It's high time for our policymakers to re-examine their priorities and focus on developing a comprehensive energy strategy that leverages our natural resources, promotes energy independence, and provides relief to Canadian consumers who are tired of being taken for a ride. Anything less would be a dereliction of their duty to serve the people, rather than special interests or ideological dogma. Reporting by Kirk Lubimov
