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.

From my understanding, Canada and the US still have a FTA that was signed in the late 80s and which would immediately come back into effect should NAFTA be scrapped.
