He's already told or telegraphed us all of this. There are no good questions to ask because everything is on the table and can and will happens if he wants it. American voters gave him and the Republicans absolute control, and we all get to live with those consequences.

Hard to say if he applies tariffs across the board for Canadian goods. The current free trade deal is one that he negotiated, so he might be more willing to stick with it. The last time Trump tried with tariffs against Canada, we strategically applied our own which quickly brought him to the table.
He also promised to cut energy bills in the U.S. by 50% and they already import a lot of electricity from Canada (Americans pay less for Canadian electricity than Canadians do). It's not a resource that the U.S. could quickly replace or work around. If Canada wanted, it could make life difficult for him.
