    85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada

    We could just flick the switch on and off a few times. Seems to work on toddlers.

      This one doesn’t make any sense to me. Of course all of our electricity imports come from Canada, I suspect the other 15% is mexico cause I don’t know who else we even can import from. That said, probably most of these ‘imports’ are more like trades in that sometimes the nearest grid is across the border. I don’t think Canada is sending bulk power to the US consistently (maybe on certain days depending on hydro and renewables) and doubt a tarriff here would be nearly as big an impact as something like steel. I could be wrong though

      Lmao, I hope he’s stupid enough to tarrif that too. Just go ahead and double the cost of living, that’ll go well…
