Sure, if Trump follows through with his threat of tariffs, both countries will suffer, but Canada will come out the biggest loser. So, it doesn't make sense to react in such a childish and bravado manner. To do so, is just "poking the bear".
Trump initially said he would put tariffs on, IF we didn't stop the flow of migrants, and drugs into the US from Canada. So, I think we should have just focused on satisfying that, and not overreacted.
just my opinion

You called the responses childish and bravodo, and not Trump?
The different lens people use to judge Trump vs the politicians who have to respond to him is mind blowing.
He can get away with anything and you only deploy expectations or standards to everyone else.
What a time we are in.
