No, Trump won because Hillary didn't motivate the Obama coalition to come out and vote.
But let's not refight the election for the billionth time.

This strategy starts by withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and making certain that any new trade deals are in the interests of American workers. President Trump is committed to renegotiating NAFTA. If our partners refuse a renegotiation that gives American workers a fair deal, then the President will give notice of the United States’ intent to withdraw from NAFTA.

This seems to me the most immediate thing which directly affects Canada and Canadians from a Trump Presidency. Presumably, Trump is more talking about the trade with Mexico, but the trade with Canada is bigger.
What would Canadians want in a new NAFTA deal? What would Canadians be willing to sacrifice in order for the US to 'get a better deal' in order to keep something like NAFTA in place. Does it benefit Canadians for NAFTA to remain, or would we be better off with it scrapped?
