I don't know if it'll do much from a policy standpoint -- I doubt that Canada is simply not pulling easy-to-pull levers related to fentanyl. Also, he didn't aim to negotiate, but just said that he'd impose tariffs, and didn't announce concrete goals. But it might benefit him politically.
I imagine that a lot of his domestic agenda is not going to be all that popular with a lot of people who voted for him. If people are talking about him taking extreme actions aimed at dealing with fentanyl -- an issue of widespread political concern, that's probably preferable.

Canada will probably just cut off the pipelines into the US and partner with Europe to get all that oil shipped there.

What makes you think it’s supposed to help anyone? This is them speed running tearing the US down to the nails and selling it off for pennies to themselves.

I think your name Nahuatl is Mazaxayacatl. Mazatl (deer) + Xayacatl (face/mask) = Mazaxayacatl.
Use that information as you see fit.

Implementing a tariff without giving businesses an alternative is a self-inflicted wound in a trade war.

Before Trump imposed his tariffs, the Canadian government said U.S. gas prices could jump some 75 cents US a gallon overnight if he went ahead with tariffs.
Higher fuel prices are going to make the consumer cost of everything go up.

That's exactly what they want and what all this is about. America has access to all the oil it needs but there are too many pesky laws and environmental exclusion zones. This will create a "shortage" so they will need to start up new drilling operations in the gulf, in Alaska, fracking, national parks, any other shit they got cooked up.

I mean we've known his goal when he outwardly asked the oil executives to buy him
