Canada has responded to U.S. tariffs with sweeping duties on products including cheese and steel.
The Midwest and Great Lakes are among the most exposed regions, led by Ohio ($2.3 billion) and Illinois ($2.1 billion).
Several of the most affected states, including Michigan and Wisconsin, are politically important swing states.

If they weren't our enemy then we wouldn't have been forced into CanadaUS/NAFTA/CUSMA.

They've already destroyed our economy with prior deals, it's not going to recover if whatever leader that comes in after Carney creates yet another deal with them.

Over the past year, the U.S. has imposed a series of tariffs that violate its commitments under our agreement with them and Mexico, so-called CUSMA.

Canada also violated CUSMA by having trade deals with other countries without US approval.

Further, of course the US is going to tarriff us. They proved that with NAFTA, that's why we've been trying to get out of it for decades.

Canada knows that free trade with the US means they tarriff us but we can't tariff them, that's how it's always been.

I agree, it took way too long for the person who campaigned on getting us away from the US to break off but we had to be militarily ready first.

The only difference with Trump is that he acts like he isn't already president of Canada like his predecessors but he's not somehow more hostile than them.

The USA is next door to Canada so of course we are going to trade with them. NAFTA/CUSMA have lead to closer integration between our economies that has been mutually beneficial but we are still separate sovereign countries.

Currently CUSMA restricts new free trade agreements with "non-market" economies which singles out China. Canada does not have a free trade agreement with China. We've made a trade deal with them that opens up imports for a limited number of vehicles.

Non-CUSMA participants.

We really don't want to trade with the US. PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE.

Article 32.10 of CUSMA refers to non-market country free trade agreements with which no party has signed a free trade agreement:

The USA is the world's largest economy right next door. We do want trade but only if it is fair and stable.

And doesn't involve the Americans, why do you keep leaving that off?

I gave the link to CUSMA. I didn't think I needed to copy/paste the relevant bits but since you asked, per article 32.10 items 1(a) and 1(b) relates to a "non-market country free trade agreements with which no party has signed a free trade agreement":

Article 32.10: Non-Market Country FTA

For the purposes of this Article:

non-market country is a country:

(a) that on the date of signature of this Agreement, a Party has determined to be a non-market economy for purposes of its trade remedy laws; and (b) with which no Party has signed a free trade agreement.

I don't think I'm leaving anything out.

China is a market economy as much as the US is. But it's still up to the US.

a Party has determined to be a non-market economy for purposes of its trade remedy laws; and (b) with which no Party has signed a free trade agreement.
