Gitane de Silva on CBC: Trump won’t back down from threats, expect more escalation (including auto tariffs) On energy as leverage? Don’t. Most oil Ontario and Quebec burn comes from Alberta through the U.S. or from the U.S. itself. Tariff it and you hit ON/QC first — the provinces...

Raphael Melancon on CBC today: Quebec should threaten to cut off 'massive' hydro exports to the Northeast US as leverage against Trump Anchor Andrew Nichol: crickets — no pushback, no numbers, just elbows Here's the reality check, Raphael: Quebec's hydro exports to the entire US have been shrinking hard — down to ~13 TWh in 2023 from 25+ TWh earlier, and even lower recently due to low reservoirs. For New England, Quebec power was ~5% of net electricity use in 2024. For New York, Canadian imports (mostly Quebec) fell to ~3% or less lately, with periods of net exports the other way. Not "massive." Supplemental. Variable. And the new fancy lines (NECEC, CHPE) are still ramping up amid droughts and domestic Quebec demand Threatening to flip the switch would: 🔥Torch billions in Quebec revenue and contracts 🔥Hurt friendly state bridges (Vermont, Maine, NY, Mass.) that buy clean power 🔥Hand Trump a propaganda win ("Canada is cutting power to Americans!") 👩‍🦯Ignore that Trump love escalation, and Quebec's grid isn't an infinite battery This isn't bold strategy. It's the energy version of "let's burn our own leverage because it sounds so tough on teevee" Canada has real cards (critical minerals, auto integration, defense spending, etc.). Suggesting we sabotage a mutually beneficial clean energy relationship while reservoirs are low is peak unserious punditry CBC: next time, maybe ask the guest for actual data instead of letting it slide Brodie Fenlon 𝐑𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐚𝐞̈𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜̧𝐨𝐧 🤦‍♂️
