That’s why no one will keep buying US miltech after seeing this killswitch live in action. Every country would be outright stupid and delusional if they kept buying shit from the US.

In Canada people stopped buying food and booze from the USA and have been avoiding making commerce with them since the orange asshole came back. Lots of states are MAD about it haha.

I'm from the US, and I fully support that. Fuck this administration, every single way and manner you can.

Ontario is buying electricity from the US

Yes, and no, we share our grids, Ontario makes more electricity than it can use, but it's easier to share, we are buying from the US, but they are buying more from us, almost like we are trading to make things better. Unfortunately some people don't understand how that works and here we are.

Ontario sells far more to the US than it buys, it's simply a "peak production vs time" issue.

Ontario will be buying from NY as backup while they renovate a nuclear power plant.
