    I’m unfamiliar with the electricity market. Will it affect all Americans or only those at the border like New York state which is already anti Trump?

      Ontario currently exports electricity generated across the province directly to Michigan, New York and Minnesota.

      I assume those are the only states that would be affected.

          +1 to “Doesn’t matter”, but also: New York and Minnesota’s electoral college votes did not go to Trump*.

          On both states at least 40% of the votes were Trump, so it’s not like it’s a haven of angels being unfairly impacted. Use your blue/red paint by county instead of by state and see how it goes.

      Americans may care about internal divisions and states, but honestly the US is the US and we see the entire country as an enemy when the US’s leader starts wars with us. Americans elected Muffintop Mussolini and they’ll have to deal with the consequences until he’s removed.
