Ok so for those not in the know ; Canada won't and can't shut off the power to the USA. All the power generated in the western provinces going to eastern Canada is put though "Line 5'
Line 5 goes through Michigan ( to provide power ), and branches from there to another few states before bending back up into Sarnia, Ontario to the power grid in Ontario and Quebec.
Cutting off power to the states cuts off power to Ontario and Quebec as well. Luckily in the Maritime provinces, we produce our own power here.
So... all this shutting off the power talk is just 100% pompous posturing by Canadian officials trying to convince Canadians we don't need the USA. They are completely uniformed of how the power grid actually works.
Just ignore it from now on ; won't and can't happen ever.
