Speaking Monday at a mining convention in downtown Toronto, Ontario Premier Doug Ford doubled down on threats to cut electricity exports to U.S. border states if the tariffs go through.

Ford is a Trump supporter. Republican wannabe. He's just playing along. We're watching WWE kayfabe.

We're as fucked as the Americans are. Maybe more. At least the 75 million who bothered to vote Democrat who don't want any of this. One third of them know what's going on. Meanwhile Ontario is still voting on pointless traditional small-c versus small-l partisan issues.

I find myself uninvested in all this seeing how scripted it is. It's distraction. I mean it's been the Trump era MO for 10 years. Conservatives here love it. They've been cribbing notes. Why aren't more people seeing it this way. The bluster. The table pounding. It's all an act.

Whatever the bigger picture ends up being in this great big geopolitical realignment. Canadians are in for very rude awakenings whenever they start realizing it isn't anymore about nebulous partisan ideologies but fundamental shifts in the world we live in. If the notoriously boisterous Americans are asleep at their own wheel. Where does that leave us.
