The thought occurred to me that he might put the tariffs in place for like a week or two, then claim that Canada complied with his demands and then remove the tariffs. It would give him the "strongman" victory he wants his followers to witness, while not causing long term economic damage.

But then part of me is starting to really think that he wants to use economic pressure to make Canada completely capitulate and give up our sovereignty. Maybe not a 51st state situation, but more of a puppet state like what Belarus is to Russia.
