Gotta say that giving money to a Weston (of those Westons) isn't sensible, entirely orthogonally to any trade war.
Trump's pushing tariffs because his owners want to damage US power, and breaking the post-war open trading order does an effective job of that in ways most will not immediately recognize. He's not likely to back down (there's a reason for the whole death-and-fentanyl frame), and it'd be sensible for Canada to use the emotions of the moment to push the whole land-border-with-Denmark EU membership line.
As well as getting rid of the internal trade barriers within Confederation. The "more than makes up for the loss" analysis of that seems pretty sound, and we really do need a larger proportion of the economy devoted to primary manufacturing.
