    I watched the CPAC speech he just gave and now I am watching some US news, I thought it sounded like he was going down to DC to make a deal I thought he was going down for the secretary to bag him to not do the surcharge without doing anything in return. Watching some US news after it sounds like he is going down for a shake down.

    As much as I hate saying it he needs to just turn off the power. Trump will get really angry and F around more with tariffs I know but he has already promised to do that soon with steal and aluminum and then reciprocal tariffs on the second.

      I think killing the power gives them a security argument for military intervention. The flimsiest pretense of an argument, but if that’s what they want to do, then that will be enough.

        If Quebec power was also cut off then New York would start experiencing brown outs, I do not know how the other states Ontario are surcharging would do but it needs to happen.

        If I remember the Quebec power being down in 2002 or 03 there were brown outs down the east coast.
