Plain and simple, it's bullying and blackmail. Trump, as stupid as he always is, has no clue that such economic threats against Canada and China don't exactly diminish the possibility of war with China. The Chinese will take only so much pain. If Trump doesn't relent in some measure, it could eventually lead to war.
Carney can't back down now without coming off as Trump's lapdog. So, Canada will have to absorb the devastating economic hit and return to across-the-board countervailing tariffs. Prepare for a lot of Canadian bankruptcies because they're coming fast as sure as the dimwit in DC is called Trump.
