Additional.

LeBlanc mentions that in the video clip attached to the OP link.

If true, that could be a massive problem if communications get damaged in a conflict, even if the US is not acting maliciously.

Your comment reminds me of something

Regardless, it's presence makes a statement that Canada is not alone.

Though I'd be cool if it was stationed at Miquelon for a few months.

I assume those are the only states that would be affected.

Not in an interconnected and dynamic grid.

If neighboring states have higher demand at a given time and those 3 states have a surplus at the same time, they can sell it along (presumably at the new higher price).

Power is all part of an interconnected grid (except Texas- they're special..). It's a complex dynamic system with complex and varying rates associated with it.

If there is more power available in those states than they need at a given moment, they sell it on to other areas that have more need than supply. And in this case, they'll try to sell at the increased price.

and then immediately fact checks him.

As any responsible journalist should.

They tell themselves that lie every morning.

I blame Francis Scott Key.

The U.S. is always on TV and it's depressing af.

Its even worse living next door to them.

You need to be quarantined.

They really do. For the good of the world.

I think there's still a difference between state and corporate based propaganda

The targets of that propaganda are still diminished, regardless of who is manipulating them.

There may be a method to the madness.

Or is may simply be madness.

I know where my bet goes.

Mark Carney is not the only one with that opinion.

Trump's not saying he's canceling them, he's just pausing them. Why reward this bullshit baby behaviour?

Exactly. That's why the current counter-tariffs stay, and only the scheduled phase 2 is on hold for now.

There's alreqdy examples in those history books of the previous times the Americans tried to take land that is part of Canada.

Manifest destiny is a very old American mantra.

Pausing tariffs on some Canadian goods.

A pause isn't good enough.

And doing it on an partial list is not good enough.

Yeah, but they've been claiming it was just a joke.

We know better, of course, but that was what they were pretending.

Don't be manifesting that into existence.
