I’m sure he will buy a Tesla, but the American people will pay for it, not him. He doesn’t spend his own money. What at boor.

Its good that Ford is willing to use the Ontario electrical switch as a way to gain American attention for what trump is doing.
The thing is … that’s not an option for BC.
Yes, BC does sell electricity to America, but unlike Ontario … we also buy American electricity. Its a constant give and take, a system that ebbs and flows with a variety of circumstances; winter, summer, floods, droughts … an endless list of reasons that will make BC Hydro quickly flick from selling to buying power.
If BC played the Ontario light switch game with BC power exports, American state politicians will also be able to just say “ok, fine … we’ll just shut yours off when you need it” in a retaliatory tariff kind of way. BC shutting it off once right now … will just open ourselves to retaliatory action.
A light, best not dimmed.
