As someone with limited knowledge of Canadian politics, who is Doug Ford? If he isn't the prime minister, how does he have significant power and influence to go against the US?

Also, if he is that powerful, he can teach us how to!

Doug Ford is the Premier (think Governor, sorta) of Ontario, our most populous province. The power company might be owned by the provincial government, too

Could a Canadian governor have the power to stop electricity being exported to another country? I imagine that this has to be discussed and enacted on the national level.

Canadian governor

Premier. Not governor.

In Canada, the electricity sector is under provincial jurisdiction, not federal, so this would not need to be discussed on a national level.
