I'm wondering what everyone else thinks is in our future as Canadians?

Do we think Trump is going to be stupid enough to try to invade Canada or redraw border lines?

Will the trade war continue for years or will Trump wuss out like last time?

We we continue to buy US products after they've now screwed us a second time?

I know I'm in the camp that whatever happens, I'm planning on completely excluding the USA from my life as much as possible.

For now I suspect they're all assuming it's just bluster. The general tenor of what's coming out of the white house seems to suggest that they're basically treating the president like an angry toddler, letting him get it out of his system and hoping he calms down before they actually have to roll their sleeves up and take his toys away.

But there's also the fact that his cult is a very dangerous weapon that he eagerly points at anyone who do much as disagrees with him. Basically the party hates everything about this, because it's bad for business and Republicans hate anything that's bad for business, but no one wants to take the heat for saying so. So why not just wait and hope it all blows over when he gives up or gets distracted, like he always does. Trump has little stamina for things that don't immediately go his way so they're probably all banking on him finding a way to bail on this before long.
