“Canada is the number one supplier of energy to the U.S., supplying more than 99 per cent of U.S. natural gas imports, 85 per cent of U.S. electricity imports, and 60 per cent of U.S. crude oil imports.”

Reason they initially only put 10% on that portion.  Would be crippling.

Framed as 99% of the imports that you do have. 

Not 99% of all nat gas consumed.

Are you saying it would be crippling to Canada or the US?

Potentially mutually assured crippling on the east coast between Ontario/Quebec and New State+general area where the largest volumes are traded. 

Which is why those initial tariffs rates were at 10% compared to 25%. 

Given how vital the power source from Canadian hydro is there. 

Plus how much the provinces rely in the income. Plus it cannot be quickly or easily replaced or rerouted.
