Probably totally unrelated, but I find it interesting that Canada suddenly lifts the electricity surcharge right when the US suddenly decides to support Ukraine again.

Like I said, most likely totally unrelated, but the timing is a bit suspect. That surcharge of 25% would have netted Ontario something like 400K a day from the US. Not economy ending, however I can imagine a lot of residents and business owners in the affected states would be mega unhappy about it.
