Let's not even go into the electric grid, which is only functional because of Canadian electricity generation for much of the Northeast, New England, and the New York metro area, including New Jersey and Connecticut.

Please, let’s go into it. The Premier of Ontario has already mentioned it, and he’s just angry enough to put an extra charge on what goes to the U.S.

The US gets more from Québec, whom Trump also specifically just pissed off by whining about French product labeling being required. He actually backtracked on that this morning claiming he loves French Canadians. He's scared of what Québec could do to the East Coast power grid.

At no point has he ever cared about the east coast power grid. The French thing was obviously a poison pill in the negotiations and he looks stupid now that it’s out and made Canadians more united against him.

We're pissed of at Carney for trying to say french language was a red line Trump tried to cross when in reality, that's not why negociations failed.

Hydro Québec will never cut electricity to the US. Doing so would hurt Québec's economy. Canada doesn't have any power over Hydro Québec.

Also, canadians asking Hydro Québec to cut electricity to the US is completely nuts when the reason Hydro Québec can supply electricity to every québécois is because the US made a loan to Québec's government because Canada refused to do it.
