    Trump threatens new tariffs on Canada and warns he will shut down its
    auto industry
    ===============

    auto industry

    I believe this means a few US vehicle OEMs are going to get kicked in
    the balls, hard....

    Speaking of shutting down the auto industry, if Canada shuts off power,
    won't detroit suffer?

    "We don't use a lot of Canadian electricity in Michigan, but there's a
    lot of Canadian electricity that flows through Michigan," MPSC
    chairman Dan Scripps told The Detroit News last week. Instead, that
    energy goes to Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York as part of a Lake
    Erie-based loop in the electric grid for the two countries.
