As someone with limited knowledge of Canadian politics, who is Doug Ford? If he isn't the prime minister, how does he have significant power and influence to go against the US?
Doug Ford is the Premier (think Governor, sorta) of Ontario, our most populous province. The power company might be owned by the provincial government, too
Could a Canadian governor have the power to stop electricity being exported to another country? I imagine that this has to be discussed and enacted on the national level.
