I can hardly wait to see how Danielle Smith will blame the tariff on Trudeau…

- 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.
  
  The river must flow
  
  The beaver who can destroy the flow of the water is the one who truly controls it.
- You know, in this context it's a bit refreshing to see Doug Ford's reaction to this. Proactively whining at Trump instead of shitting on Trudeau. I'm a bit surprised by his take.
- Trump has said Canada and Mexico need to stop drugs and illegal immigrants from crossing into the US to prevent the tariffs. Border security will be pretty easy for her to blame on Trudeau.
