Its ridiculous. Taxing a tariff is as low as you can get.

Small business... the economic canary in the coal mine
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business says small business confidence dropped to an all-time low in March as the trade war with the U.S. ramped up.
The federation says its business barometer long-term index fell 24.8 index points to 25.0 in March.
Measured on a scale between zero and 100, an index reading below 50 means owners expecting their business’s performance to be weaker over the next three or 12 months outnumber those expecting stronger performance.
Simon Gaudreault, CFIB’s chief economist and vice-president of research, says no one knows when the tariff war will end, and businesses are worried the worst is yet to come.

If I were buying stuff like that right now, I'd put it in storage in the US if it were cost-effective compared to paying a tariff. (I assume it's one of those things where the opportunity to buy can't simply be passed up. People should act with their wallets by curbing discretionary purchases and let the politicians on both sides of the borders eat the recession they are determined to bring about.)

Funny how he was coming north...but we're the problem (well, I guess someone in Alberta is a problem in that they're selling a decent amount of coke).All the border vigilance is paying off.... for Canada:

I’m wondering if anyone actually calculated the kind of discontent and anger this whole experiment will cause as people lose their livelihoods in mass numbers…
