I think you're dismissing the issues that Canada will have without US trade.

One simple example: Canada doesn't make the aluminum sheets used to make aluminum cans. It sends the aluminum ingots to the US to be formed.

Sure, we could build a factory to do it, but it would probably take two or three years.

Canada will suffer a lot more in a trade war with the United States. We may be willing to do so, but we shouldn't minimize the pain.
