Speaking Monday at a mining convention in downtown Toronto, Ontario Premier Doug Ford doubled down on threats to cut electricity exports to U.S. border states if the tariffs go through.

Only cut it off to Red States. Only cut it off for Republican registered customers and businesses.

Except that the power grid doesn't work that way.

I would assume not. The grids, except for Texas and some of Alasaka IIRC, are all fairly interconnected and share a lot. I'm assuming it comes in to some point over the border and enters the broader grid. Maybe it would be possible if it enters in multiple states to cut individual states off (which would still likely impact neighbors), but I don't know anything for sure.
