Ontario's Doug Ford slaps 25% tariff on electricity bound for Minnesota, Michigan, and New York, threatens total cut-off

 

Ontario slaps 25% tax increase on electricity exports to U.S. in response to Trump’s trade war 

 

... “I will not hesitate to increase this charge. If the United State escalates, I will not hesitate to shut the electricity off completely,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford said at a news conference in Toronto. “Believe me when I say I do not want to do this. I feel terrible for the American people who didn’t start this trade war. It’s one person who is responsible, it’s President Trump.” ...

Quebec is also considering taking similar measures with electricity exports to the U.S. ...

Ford estimated it will add about CA$100 ($69) a month to the bills of each American affected. “It needs to end. Until these tariffs are off the table, until the threat of tariffs is gone for good, Ontario will not relent,”  Ford said. ...

Ford’s Progressive Conservative government just won reelection by standing up for Canada against Trump. ...

Michael Ojeda, a Pizza Hut driver for eight years in Ontario, Calif., received notice in December that his last day would be in February, according to a letter from his former employer. Pizza Hut franchisee Southern California Pizza offered $400 in severance if he stayed through February, but Ojeda, who said he made hundreds of dollars a week in wages and tips as a delivery driver, went on unemployment instead.

 “Pizza Hut was my career for nearly a decade and with little to no notice it was taken away,” said Ojeda, 29, who previously supported his mother and partner on his Pizza Hut delivery wages.

Southern California Pizza didn’t respond to requests for comment. Pizza Hut said it was aware of some of its California franchisees changing their delivery services.

Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Hitler said the situation is "unacceptable", echoing Biden administration calls urging Prime Minister Trudeau to use his federal powers forcibly to end the peaceful protests.

 

Democrats infamously said nothing against BLM rioting and looting nationwide in the United States in 2020 and stood idly by while their thugs did $2 billion in damage.

There are reports the Canadian truckers are reinvigorating protests in Europe.

 

  

In Ontario breakthrough cases currently outnumber unvaccinated cases by 5.8 to 1

 

At least they are honest, unlike every health authority in the United States working in government or quoted in the press: Vaccine failure in Ontario, Canada

Fully-vaccinated COVID-19 cases presently outnumber unvaccinated by 5.9:1 in Ontario.

Fully-vaxxed hospitalizations outnumber unvaccinated by 2.7:1 in Ontario.

Fully-vaxxed in ICU = >36%.

Breakthroughs are the norm now.

Meanwhile in the People's Republic of Chicago:

“COVID is very real, it’s merciless, and unless you are fully vaccinated, your defenses against it are pretty low,” said CDPH Commissioner Allison Arwady, M.D., in a statement. “You can only fully fight this virus if you’re vaccinated."

LOL Ontario, Canada, where breakthrough cases outnumber un-vaccinated cases by 3.7 to 1: Maybe now you understand why the US CDC decided in May not to count breakthroughs

Amazing candor from The Great White North.

Looks like as much as 5,000 tons of US yellowcake were shipped by Uranium One to Canada and then on to Europe and Asia

From the story here:

NRC memos reviewed by The Hill show ... that it did approve the shipment of yellowcake uranium — the raw material used to make nuclear fuel and weapons — from the Russian-owned mines in the United States to Canada in 2012 through a third party. Later, the Obama administration approved some of that uranium going all the way to Europe, government documents show. ...

Rather than give Rosatom a direct export license — which would have raised red flags inside a Congress already suspicious of the deal — the NRC in 2012 authorized an amendment to an existing export license for a Paducah, Ky.,-based trucking firm called RSB Logistics Services Inc. to simply add Uranium One to the list of clients whose uranium it could move to Canada.

The license, reviewed by The Hill, is dated March 16, 2012, and it increased the amount of uranium ore concentrate that RSB Logistics could ship to the Cameco Corp. plant in Ontario from 7,500,000 kilograms to 12,000,000 kilograms and added Uranium One to the “other parties to Export.”

The move escaped notice in Congress. ...

The entire Uranium One episode is getting a fresh look after The Hill disclosed late last month that the FBI had gathered extensive evidence in 2009 — before the mine sale was approved — that Rosatom’s main executive in the United States was engaged in a racketeering scheme that included bribery, kickbacks, extortion and money laundering.
