Turn off the lights

As a Canadian , i'll be eating my $3.00 cad eggs tomorrow morning. Let's hope Ford get a itchy finger tomorrow to turn down the lights. Americans will feel this one.

The Night The Lights Went Out In The US.

Ontario and Quebec are threatening to shut down electricity exports which supplies the entire North-Eastern grid, along with oil refinery products out of Sarnia. There is also the likelihood of a 15-25% export tax on oil exports out of the mid-west, which the government will feed back to companies to help with cashflow. Ontario, as the world's largest buyer of Kentucky whiskey and California wine, have already stopped those imports and striped the shelves bare. Canadian consumers are boycotting US products faster than a Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light commercial. Snowbirds spending their money down south next winter? Nope they are going to the Caribbean instead.

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

He sounds very manipulative. And like he's having a temper tantrum. He can miss me with trying to play on people's emotion and act like Canada cares for Americans. Canada doesn't even want this man. All you trump haters and those who don't do research and believe the media are desperately trying so hard to see light and positivity where it done exist. What can anyone take away that America doesn't have right now. 70% of the population is damn near homeless and the avg job pays 14$ a hr. We already can't afford food way before trump got elected if our president thinks this is best then trust him\nWe want to much quick solutions. It's going to take a fight to make America great again ❤ time is everything. You can't expect no one to wave a magic wand and undo 12 yrs of democratic chaos. We have people that don't understand their gender. For years America has been every other countries sugar daddy! ENUFF. I SAY MORE TARRIFS❤

We Canadians need to rally our provinces to shut off the damn lights. Enough of the talks! Shut it off. Hello to all our American friends!

When u light a ? at ur neighbor house thinking it will not affect your house is suicidal.. Trump this is what happens when you don’t understand Global economics….

From Los Angeles, as a Korean Canadian American, my heart shines with Canadian pride, a true beam of light.

Yall remember what they said in rick and Morty?! How do you topple a government?! By turning a 01 into a 00!! Smh!! I believe the powers that be, is trying to make way for another country to take the lime light from us!! And that thought is very very scary!!

I did not vote for Chump. In fact I like many have left America One tjing I adk..Will tje last American please dhut the lights before they leave?

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

The orange guy is doing it because Melania face lit up when she met Trudeau, and her face never light up like that, when she looks at him.

Turdeau is nothing more than a communist POS and needs to be removed and charged with TREASON and many more crimes. As for Tariffs, why doesn't this low life bring to light the 270% Tariffs on Milk to the US, 298% on butter, 245% on cheese, 238% on chicken,57% on barley seed, 45% on Aluminum, 48% on copper, 45% on cars, and the list goes on, all Trump wanted was the border cleaned up of criminals and drugs and this POS is turning it into a trade war. He has no money for additional border security, but he can send billions to Zelensky, another criminal pile of garbage. When the hell are Canadians going to wake up to the criminals in power ???????????????

Mexico and Canada stand up to Trump !!!\nDon’t give in !!!!!\nCanada turn of the lights !!!!\nPlease !!!!!\nWe stand up with you Canada And Mexico!!!’. \nTurn of the lights!!!!’.

Mexico and Canada stand up to Trump !!!\nDon’t give in !!!!!\nCanada turn of the lights !!!!\nPlease !!!!!\nWe stand up to you Canada and Mexico!!!!’

Guess Canada wants to wake a dragon ?, like dont think Americans won't out produce you , we the majority voted for this . Save your gas lighting for some one else we dpnt buy garbage here .

Impressed by JT today and I don’t say this lightly

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

It happens to be ‘a very troubling and uncertain world’ because of Donald Trump. Giving Putin the green light ‘to do whatever he wants’ in Europe makes the world dangerous. If Trump is gone, we’re one step closer to making the world a safer and better place.

Light work ??

turn the fuckin lights off, we deserve it at this point.

Nazis feared Leo Major, the canadian Rambo...\nNo one mess lightly with Canada ☠?☠\n\nLove from France ??❤??

Yeah, I think Trump will see the light and quit with hs dumb policies but he may last longer than a month.

I'll tell you what this is about. I'll tell you why the orange Jesus is attacking friends instead of enemies. I will let you know why Trump has become the largest Putin bootlicker. It is because I believe Putin who is one of the most dangerous political figures in Europe in the last 200 years, who is a former KGB agent and he was a very good one, has dug up some much much much much much much much dirty dirt on the most despicable disrespectful immoral entitled billionaire moron. Probably the same kind of dirt why the Epstein files were mostly redacted. I believe the orange orang spent some very good times in Russia in the past, good times that should never come out in the light of day, some services that were probably at a discount, while some hidden cameras and microphones were collecting that very dirty dirt and the brand on those cameras and microphones was a KGB logo. This is why I think Mr thinnest tope in the world is acting as the Russians boyfriend.

This stupid fool refused to trade LNG with Europe and Japan. Now he just wants his name in lights one last time.

​Can anyone shed some light on when Trump administration will be removed from White House please?

American here… I’m standing with Canada, Ukraine, Europe, Mexico, and any other country affected by this senseless trade war. I do not stand with Russia. Perhaps, and maybe MAGA worshippers will see the light when they can’t afford to buy a house. I didn’t vote for “the orange” and not all of us are brainwashed. ??‍♀️

Trump wants to be one of the handful of large, powerful autocracies in the world, he will continue provoking democratic allies to create strawman excuses to engage in conflict with and cede from them and look for any excuses to invade/annex, and in the end he most likely believes he has the power to compete with and overpower other autocracies. In the end, he sees them as the winners in the race of countries and he wants to be top dog over them, too. By consolidating wealth, industry/resources, control of information and technology - with his past attacks against the military - will it be any surprise if plans come to light of intentions to build a private army?

No not all Americans. I didn't vote for that. I like Canadians and Canada. Turn the lights off on the Mega supporters.

the current trade deal with Canada and Mexico is something trump bragged about when he negotiated & signed it 6 years ago. Trump called it the USCMA. Less than 1% of fentanyl comes across the northern US border. we can't refine light crude oil we pull out of the ground here so we buy more than 50% of our heavy crude oil and natural gas from Canada. Canada will turn off the pipes and sell the heavy oil and NG to Europe. The second oil supply was Mexico who plans to sell their oil in Europe too. It will be extra cold in the midwest and east coast this winter without fuel oil.

Shut the lights off...

Love live Emperor Trump! Our God Emperor! Our savior! Our light in the darkness!

Well said Canada. 1 of 2 thing I think will transpire from trumps tariffs. Canada will be economically crushed and be sucked into becoming the 51st state. 2. I think there will be Trouble in the USA. Probably a light whiff of civil war. Isn’t it amazing how just one man can cause all this tension in the world

Bro he is not doing anything to me but is speaking up for our tax dollars and bad deals where your country is profiting off of me and others alike. trudeau and zalenski get in front of the cameras and start gas lighting with word salad filled with stats. From the things you should be doing to what your are doing against us it seems like you think you are doing us favors not partnering with me and my country. Keep it 100 %

PM Trudeau is an example to follow and surely makes all Canadians proud for his reply to Donald Trump. I am European but also a big fan of the US; it is such a shame to see the light of the democracy fading away in a country which was once considered as one of the most consolidated world democracy. One question for all the US people reading this comment (with all due respect but is this what you mean by 'Make America Great again ?' ?

Please shut the lights off

sorry guys provinces will be turning out your lights

In California but 1000% Team Canada. I am actively seeking out Canadian products to replace those from red states. (Canadian Mist, Crown Royal and many others are excellent replacements for Kentucky whiskeys.) I hope (and expect) that Blue State governors are working with Canada and our other allies to put the squeeze on Trump-supporting states and industries. While I hold out little hope that Trump cultists will ever not be brainwashed, putting them through direct and maximum pain is the only possible way out. Canada, elbows up! Turn out the lights, raise the price of our oil and know that true Americans are with you every step of the way.

Hold firm, Donald. Don't cave. Don't let them win this game of chicken. The light is up ahead.

Zelenskey has seen the light as you’ll see tonight. Mexico and Canada will follow. Lots of idiots here still not getting it.

Trudeau shut up and resign already, you righteous light weight twit

You should take off the light and that will teach the Trumpet a lesson

You, President Zelenskyy, and Prime Minister Starmer are lights in this darkness. ? Love from, Minnesota.

Unfortunately Trudeau has decided to step down. Had he shown our people this side of him years ago I’m sure he’d be seen in a different light and would never have made the decision to step down as PM. Great work PM Trudeau ??

Turn off the lights in America! It can be done….Canada provides electricity to most of northern America. Every crisis in America has been helped by Canadians. Canada sends linesmen down to help repair power lines after storms. Canada will always help us, don’t doubt it. Trump and Vance r complete idiots. If Trump and Vance are in power for much longer, I can see the devil rising because Trump and Vance are Demons. I’m a 60 year-old disabled woman and if I could I would fly to the Ukraine and help them because my country is doing nothing only upholding Putin!

The best explanation for why Trump has taken this disastrous direction, is that he admires the power of dictators, and sees himself in this light. Dictators always self sabotage eventually.

When the guy who was such a god-awful, terrible, idiotic Prime Minister that his own party told him that he was too embarrassing to continue as leader; lights you up for being dumb and the 86% of Canadians that didn’t want Trudeau to ever appear in public as a Canadian (Let alone PM) agree with him… you’ve got to rethink your position.

During the Second World War Canada punched way above its weight in supporting it Allies and defeating Hitler and the scourge of fascism. It’s not a country or a people I’d want to take on lightly but as Prime Minister Trudeau highlights this is going to hurt US citizens as much as Canadian.

Man Canda show them your power shut them lights off for a few days.
