Trump slapped XX% tariffs on Canada Feb 1, 2025 while demanding annexation - then watched his threats backfire spectacularly as Carney's Liberals rode anti-American sentiment to an April XX landslide. The bully pulpit became Canada's rallying cry.

The admin's "coordinated attack" (Trump's March XX admission) aimed to force surrender but instead:  
- Canadian imports to US fell XX% post-tariffs  
- XX% of Canadians cited Trump as top election issue  
- Carney's "Never ever" sovereignty pledge drew record turnout  
Trump's miscalculation? Believing economic coercion could override XXX years of national identity.

When your "negotiating tactic" births a more defiant neighbor, it's not statecraft - it's strategic malpractice.
