90% of the aluminum used in the auto industry comes from Quebec? The USA can't easily replace it. Aluminum production needs enormous amounts of electrical energy, and the U.S. doesn't have the generating capacity to do it.
Tariffs on aluminum would skyrocket the cost of cars

Just cut off exports to USA until trump blinks. Retaliating with tariffs is a very bad idea. Negotiating with trump is futile.

There is no “Palestine”. Never was. Gaza was stolen from the Jews by Arabs 3000 years ago.

Melanie, do you understand that Trump’s objective with regard to tariffs is to replace income tax. This is why you cannot successfully negotiate with him. He has talked about replacing income tax many times. Tariffs are his crazy idea of how to do it. #tariffs

Feds can’t do that and the premier of Alberta won’t either. But the feds can put a 25% export tax on oil leaving Canada.

You need to cut off electricity going from Quebec to New England the moment the trump tariffs kick in. And put an export tax or 25% on oil going to USA
January 30, 2025 at 11:44 PM
And Quebec currently supplies around 7% to 10% of New England’s electricity needs

I hope Doug Ford cuts off electricity going to the USA without warning the moment the tariffs kick in

Tariffs hurt your own people. They are useful only when you need to protect a particular industry for security reasons. It is really dumb to put tariffs on things your country doesn't have enough of, like oil.

Justin, instead of using tariffs to retaliate trump's 25% tariffs, put an export tax on oil and electricity sales to USA. That would hurt USA not Canada

Instead of tariff retaliation Canada could put an export tax on oil and elecricity it sells to USA. That would cause huge problems in the US
