(Reuters) -U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's plan to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports in his first day in office does not exempt crude oil from the trade penalties, two sources familiar with the plan told Reuters on Tuesday. Trump's tariff threats are broad and include oil imports, the two sources said, both adding that Trump often takes an aggressive posture at the beginning of negotiations. The U.S. refining industry was hoping Trump would exempt oil imports over concerns that they would lead to the type of energy price spikes the former president vowed to eliminate when he took the White House.
Honestly, I take what brief moments of hope I can get these days… knowing that Danielle Smith will be crying herself to sleep tonight gives me the hope I need.
So if we seal off the BC transmountain pipeline and refuse oil trains service through Quebec could we kill our fucking fossil fuel industry and force green alternatives?
What green alternatives can we force short term? We will need to rely on gas peaker plants still. If we build alot of nuclear they sure, but I don’t know how feasible wind or solar is for us here in Canada for large replacements for our grid to convert consumers over to full electric.

On Arrakis we had desert power but here, in Canada, we must use hydropower.
