Ontario Premier Doug Ford floated the idea of shutting off electricity exports and critical minerals to USA amid the trade war.

 

Both Countries supply eachother with very critical supplies that they do not produce enough domestically which can get ugly very quickly if things escalate

 

Canada is the largest supplier of oil, natural gas, fertilizer/potash and certain agricultural products to the United States and a major supplier of Lumber, precious metals and other critical minerals

 

Om the flip side Canada is highly dependent on the US for food produce (especially in winter months), refined fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel, assembled vehicles, tools and machinery among other things

As much as I would love to see other governments standing up to this administration, I feel this would only hurt both so I'm not sure how to feel about this

[Lucas 31,362]

I understand the will to hurt the USA but if it also hurts Canada there is no point.
