Here's Joe from Georgia. Well, another tariff Canada, you know that 50% tariff that the president is putting on Canada this week? Well, folks, Canada has the ace card up its sleeve, and it happens to be the amount of electricity that they supply to two states that border Canada. Canada. The United States imports electricity for a massive amount of homes that border Canada. And those American households that are receiving that electricity are going to see their bills go up by at least 50%. Their bills are already high. Or what if Canada just decided to turn the switch off? I mean, they could do so. Well, folks, we're in a situation now to where everything is happening over and over again, hurting America. So if Canada wants to turn off the power to places in the Northeast, Northwest, parts of upper Midwest, they could do so. Or they can charge you, the American consumer, 50% more for your electricity. Can you afford that? Can you pay 50% more for your electric bill? Well, that's what we're looking at. And it could happen as soon as this week.
