Speaking Monday at a mining convention in downtown Toronto, Ontario Premier Doug Ford doubled down on threats to cut electricity exports to U.S. border states if the tariffs go through.“If they want to try to annihilate Ontario, I will do everything — including cut off their energy with a smile on my face,” Ford told reporters.“They rely on our energy, they need to feel the pain. They want to come at us hard, we’re going to come back twice as hard.”The United States is a major customer for Canadian electricity, with all American power grids — with the exception of Texas — interconnected with Canadian provinces.New York, Michigan and Minnesota are Ontario’s three biggest customers of domestically-produced power.
Ford is confident retaliation will make the difference. “I (didn’t) start this tariff war, but we’re going to win this tariff war,” he said. — part one: NY Times:Christianity’s Decline in U.S. Appears to Have Halted, Major Study Shows Young people contributed to the shift. “If you’re a young white male these days and you think of yourself as conservative, then being religious is a part of that.”
