**Trader consensus assigns a 94% probability that Canada will not cut off or throttle electricity exports to the United States by December 31, 2026, reflecting the pattern of rhetorical leverage amid ongoing trade tensions rather than implemented policy.** US tariffs on Canadian goods, including 50% duties imposed in August 2026, prompted retaliatory Canadian tariffs and public statements from Ontario Premier Doug Ford that “everything is on the table,” including electricity restrictions. Similar threats surfaced in 2025 and were quickly rescinded after brief surcharges. Federal officials under Prime Minister Mark Carney have prioritized targeted tariffs over energy measures, while some other provincial leaders have explicitly distanced themselves from cutoff proposals. Cross-border electricity trade—valued at roughly $3.3 billion in Canadian exports in 2025—operates under longstanding grid agreements and long-term contracts. Grid operators note that any changes would primarily affect prices rather than reliability, given two-way flows and US generation capacity. Recent legal disputes, such as Hydro-Québec’s temporary curtailments and related lawsuits, remain contract-specific and have not escalated to broad export restrictions. With active diplomatic channels, months remaining until the resolution date, and historical precedent favoring negotiated outcomes over energy disruptions, the market reflects low expected probability of formal federal or provincial action to halt or limit flows.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Canada, through an authorized representative of either the federal government or a provincial government, including through a state-owned enterprise, announces that it is using its authority to cut off or throttle the exportation of electricity, in whole or in part, to the United States between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
Reductions or curtailments attributable to water or supply conditions, grid reliability, maintenance, commercial or contractual factors, or other ordinary-course operational decisions will not qualify.
An announcement of a qualifying action will suffice for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether electricity exports are actually throttled or cut off, and regardless of whether the action is subsequently suspended or reversed.
A qualifying action must restrict the volume or flow of electricity exports. The imposition of surcharges, taxes, tariffs, or other price-based measures alone will not be sufficient to qualify.
Statements that Canada or a province may take, is considering taking, or will take such action only if a condition is met or unmet will not qualify.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the Canadian federal or provincial governments; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**Trader consensus assigns a 94% probability that Canada will not cut off or throttle electricity exports to the United States by December 31, 2026, reflecting the pattern of rhetorical leverage amid ongoing trade tensions rather than implemented policy.**
