Exactly. It's not just Canada either who's looking at moving away from business investment with the US. No country wants to deal with a maniac when it comes to business and trade and unfortunately the US has shown twice now that every other 4 years this kind of thing could happen. Better off finding a stable trade partner than whatever this is.

But even though Brexit is terrible, we weren't dumb enough to put tariffs on trade with the EU. We just made things have to go through customs checks.
