@Paulatics someone posted that #Ontario buys $8M worth of natural gas from the US but they neglected to say what % that is of the total.
Living in #Toronto, should I be worried about my next heating bill?
Perhaps you - like a certain American president - were surprised to learn how much electricity Canada exports to the US. Here are the latest figures from the Canada Energy Regulator. #electricity #tariffs #tradewar #cdnpoli #Canada #Trump #Ontario

Canadian Premiers are pulling US spirits off of shelves in their Provinces, making them unavailable for sale.
“Canada is Kentucky’s top export destination, shipping over $9.3 billion in products in 2024.”
Kentucky voters voted for Trump, Comer, and Massie. They knew what they were voting for.

This is the find-out part.
More metal from Ontario in Canada, this time from Hamilton.
CBC: More kids hospitalized with breathing issues, 'very high' fevers as measles outbreak grows 3/6/25
"The number of unvaccinated children contracting measles continues to grow across southwestern Ontario with public health officials worried the outbreak is much larger than current numbers show....
There are currently:
136 cases in Southwestern Public Health region (up from 115 cases earlier this week).
82 cases in Grand Erie Public Health region (79 exclusively in Norfolk county)
6 cases in Huron Perth Public Health region (all linked to the above cases)"
#Canada’s initial $30B Canadian (US$21B) worth of retaliatory #tariffs have been applied on items like American orange juice, peanut butter, coffee, appliances, footwear, cosmetics, motorcycles & certain pulp & paper products.
#Ontario Premier #DougFord, …also said that, starting on Monday, the province will charge 25% more for #electricity shipped to 1.5M Americans in response to #Trump’s tariffs. Ontario provides electricity to #Minnesota, #NY & #Michigan.
There is a website up now called Made in Canada.
You type in a product name - such as Bran Buds - and it describes who owns it and where it is made.
So my Bran Buds are made in a factory in Belleville, #Ontario and shipped to the rest of Canada and the US.
However, the brand is owned by Kellogg's in USA.
The Trump/Musk duo is so bad they're making the awful Ontario Premier Doug Ford look good.
Ontario, Canada’s most populous province just announced:
- removal of all American alcohol from store shelves, meaning all Ontario businesses will not be able to buy or sell American wine, beer, or liquor (we’re their largest importer at $1b/yr)
- banned US companies from bidding on contracts
- cancelled huge Starlink contract
- ending nickel exports (look up what that means)
- next step will be a 25% tax on energy sales to the US.
A rare pause during the zoomies to capture this photo of a Marten.
It was -31°C overnight. With the sun up for a few hours, it made it up to about -11°C, so we were all very happy to have some warmth and sunlight.
@mattblaze as an #Ontario resident… do you realize how f*cked up Ontario is right now? We just elected a mob leader to lead our province for the 3rd consecutive time. Our healthcare and education systems are being actively defunded and are crumbling. We are struggle bussing over here.
Ontario librarians say 'they have to be ready' as calls to ban books increase across Canada
As libraries south of the border contend with growing book banning efforts largely targeting titles with 2SLGBTQ+ themes, London-area librarians worry it could become a larger issue here.

For the 3rd time Doug Ford has won “Being the only party on one side of the political spectrum”
Congratulations Doug for not having a split vote. Keep breathing and generally not doing anything that would upset your side so we can make it a 4th in 2029!

CERN has yet to produce images as compelling as those I can snag in the local car wash.
Well I am the first in line to vote at my polling station. They got me a chair.
