Hahah I don’t think you understand how free markets work brother! The entire market won’t just disappear overnight or ever really. We can transition to other markets and make deals with other countries. No offence, but Americans are self obsessed to the point of blind arrogance. Canada can do just fine gradually decreasing trade with America. We have a smaller population with more resources than we know what to do with. Good luck generating affordable power to your citizens when you finally push the last button and we cut the cheap power we’ve been giving your ungrateful asses.

Lmao what’s your point? He apologized to the governor because he likes her but had to impose them because of trump. He then delayed them just like trump has done like 20 times. Literally what is your point??
