Also, I'm pretty ignorant on how fruits and veggies actually get to Canada from Mexico. Does a lot of it get shipped by rail and truck or is it cargo ships? If it is ground transport what is the risk that the trade routes between Canada and Mexico get shutdown?

I think most of it comes by Rail and sea container.
Could the American's shut down shipments, I think that it would be a question of is it worth the effort. And frankly from a international perspective putting punitive tariffs are one thing. Suddenly stopping food shipments to Canada would be a whole other ugly thing. It would be equivalent to putting a navy blockade around a country and starving them into submission.
