This would mostly punish people who never wanted Trump in power. It's a purely spiteful move, which in all honesty wouldn't hurt Trump. The executive branch would just say not my problem.

What would you suggest we do instead?

I'm more than cool with everything else Canada is doing. It's just that electricity is a necessity while most everything else is a want. People generally don't focus on utilities when they think about economic health. Hit them where it hurts. Real estate, tesla, etc.

Possibly. Everyone is out for blood, which is a refreshing change from sticking our head in the sand like we have for so long, but being out for blood famously can also go too far.

The people actually in charge are taking a very balanced approach. For now, dollar-for-dollar tariffs are the only thing that's for sure. The long list of other ways to fuck with the US are being held in reserve for a bit later.

We didn't want this either but the biggest difference here is we didn't get a choice.
