Say want you want about Trump, he's an idiot. That said, from a pure economic standpoint, Canada as a country, would be a very big beneficiary from a Republican party win in a US election. Nothing made me shake my head more than a bunch of Canadians proclaiming their love for Obama in the last election and saying how it was so great he won again. Obama winning was a direct hit to the Canadian economy. Anyone who actually read Obama's policies and had the slightest understanding of economics would have been able see that. When your country is a net exporter, and your biggest trading partners has a guy pushing "Buy American" policies in his platform and pushing hard for climat change measures (while exempting most of his own industries), I can't see how any rational person would see how that is a good thing.
I personally think Hilary Clinton will be even worse for Canada than Obama was if she wins.
