I am going to say this every comment.

Stop sending the US oil. Stop sending natural gas. Stop sending electricity. Stop sending steel and aluminum. Stop sending them rare earths. Stop sending them wood. Do it immediately. Do it now.

We will see who needs who.

Yes, this would cause economic pain in Canada. So will not doing it.

Everything above is in demand all over the world.

Frankly, every other county should attend a summit next month where we ALL agree to stop sending the US anything and stop buying anything from the US.

If America wants to isolate themselves, I say let’s go!!

If you completely block all those things you practically guarantee they invade us for "national security".

Not easy to find a new buyer overnight. The lost revenue would be devastating to the Canadian economy.

Selling things to the US is essentially the foundation of the Canadian economy.

The double edged sword of international trade, we all sink and swim together. Last time the US had an economic recession, it was felt worldwide. The last time the US had a depression WW2 happened.

There's an old saying that when the USA sneezes, the world catches cold. What happens when it's got syphillis and starts fucking everybody?

Right a reasonable human would understand that but we are talking about Trump here. Most of the stuff he's doing WILL hurt the global economy but until it starts hurting his bottom line all's fair game to him. Same way he's testing the waters in his own country in respect with laws.
