Electricity export tariffs are win/win for Canada as a retaliation to the US.

You might want to learn about international trade before opining about it.

1. There is no such thing as an export tariff, you are referring to an excise tax.

2. US does not need Canadian electricity, they only buy it at certain times of the year because it's cheaper.

3. At times during the year, Canada buys electricity from the US.

Is this not taught in schools?

Monthly average exports from the United States to Canada in 2023 increased 70% on a year-over-year basis to 1,809 gigawatthours (GWh), while monthly average imports from Canada to the United States decreased by 36% to 3,315 GWh. In 2023, the United States remained a net importer of Canada’s power on an annual basis, but the amount of electricity received fell sharply from 42 terawatthours (TWh) in 2022 to 15 TWh in 2023. The decline in imports from Canada was large enough that by September 2023 the United States switched to become a net electricity exporter to Canada, which continued for five of the next nine months, according to EIA’s Quarterly Electricity Imports and Exports Report.
