Getting somewhat lost in all this is that only way Trump can impose tarriffs is under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) where he can regulate commerce during a declared national emergency related to an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to U.S. national security, economy, or foreign policy.

Seems like a pretty simple thing to challenge in court, given that Canada is no grave threat.

It’s happening

Globe and Mail

Donald Trump has signed an executive order imposing across-the-board tariffs of 25 per cent on Canadian goods starting Tuesday and 10-per-cent tariffs on energy.


The 25-per-cent levy will be placed on goods from Canada and Mexico. Chinese goods will face an additional 10-per-cent tariff.


”The extraordinary threat posed by illegal aliens and drugs, including deadly fentanyl, constitutes a national emergency under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act,” according to a fact sheet document published by the White House Saturday.
