Here's how this plays out
Things go sideways within days because both sides will see some real hurt in some loud constituencies.
After 4 or 5 days both sides will claim some sort of pyrrhic victory. Trump claiming he got Canada to agree to something they didn't but no one will follow up. Canada will claim they showed resolve and will continue to strengthen their partnership with their most important ally.
Some longer term unknowable crap implications will continue to affect some vulnerable sectors and the news will shift to something else that destroys Western cohesion
