In fact, Mark Carney was expecting this from Trump and had already done his homework earlier by signing contracts with those countries during his oversea visits. The most significant blessing in disguise was that Canada now sells oil at market prices when in the past it was selling them at a steep discount of around US$20 to US$25 a barrel to the USA. I must say this is a perfect case of Trump cutting his nose to spite his face. That Trump executive order is now a massive windfall for Canada, with multiple choices to sell its oil. Canada is now building pipelines East and West to export its oil, besides building refineries to process its own oil. Think about that.
Having said that, many USA oil refineries are now crippled from lack of Canadian heavy crude, and some are sitting idle without the feed. Pump prices in the USA are rising. Goods delivery costs are rising. Supermarket products are becoming more expensive. This has been compounded by the layoffs from big techs and things are not looking good for Trump in November, if he survives that long.

Not to worry for Trump, he still have his MAGA to support him. Just like in sinkieland where papies had been screwing it peasants for donkey years, yet they still have lot of ball carriers supporting them. We live in a strange world, where some human brain are just functioning in a different way.

Trump did impose ban on Canadian oil earlier, but now chicken out as usual and in fact demanded that Canada sells more crude to USA. He thought Canada had no cards to play, but Mark Carney holds the trump card with his diversification of crude exports to other countries including China.
Trump's Art of the Deal is all based on empty threats and when countries fight back with alternatives, he caves like a house of cards. Trump does not know that the cards he holds are now basically all printed by others and they know what kind of card he holds and what sort of player he is. Those that he can bully, he will swallow them whole, flesh, bones and hair, like Japan and South Korea. Now the Europeans have also seen through his Art of the Deal and are retaliating. Trump's latest threat of a 25% tariff on European cars instead of the 15% is going to start another tariff war that will push the Europeans towards Asia, just like Canada. Trump will TACO as usual. Just watch. But sometimes, TACO is too late.
As I said before, this is no longer the era of the twentieth century where countries have no alternatives but to succumb to USA threats, having to rely largely on the USA market. That is no longer the case. When one door closes another open for them.
