I say go for it. The only way to get a bully to back is to stand up to him.
You can't just "shut off" the power like a light switch. A lot of our power generation comes from renewables where we can't necessarily control how much power gets generated. That power needs to go somewhere and our entire power grid is deeply integrated with the US for this reason.
In fact, in times of low Canadian demand, we will actually PAY the US to take our excess electricity. Yes, you heard that right - we pay them for the pleasure of using our electricity because if that power doesn't go somewhere to be used, it can overload the grid.
The only way to do this is to completely shut down power plants so we lower the amount of total energy generated. The problem with that is once a plant is shut down, it's incredibly expensive and difficult to get it running again.
This is a correct- sometimes Ontario pays Quebec to take power

Super petty and also considered a war crime. Think about the consequences like what if the U.S. decides to retaliate by shutting off our natural gas lines that flow through their country and supply everything in Ontario and east?
We don’t want people freezing to death or unable to refrigerate food. It’s a disproportionate response to tariffs.
Also, although Trump is unhinged, we don’t want to turn everyday Americans against us. They aren’t our enemy.
