I don’t trust a word Ford says.

Especially since he has no clue what he's talking about. Ontario buys and sells electricity across the border, and thanks to his incompetence, we have been buying more since 2023. We buy about a third of what we sell.

All in, electricity represents 0.4% of trade for Canada. But hey, let's elect another high school grad to run a $1T economy to do stupid shit.
