Canada being hit with a 25% tariff is exactly what Trudeau wanted, and it's extremely comfortable for him. There are two reasons:

1. High inflation pressure
Canada is currently suffering from severe inflation, which is the result of the Liberal government's massive money printing and a series of poor policies. Now, the imposition of tariffs has forced Canada to take countermeasures against the United States. This situation undoubtedly provides a ready-made "excuse" for future inflation problems, allowing the government to openly blame external pressures for the economic difficulties.

2. An unexpected turn in the political crisis
Trudeau has not only resigned as party leader and prime minister, but his approval ratings have also hit rock bottom. The Liberal Party lacks a leader who can stand on their own, and outside the party, the possibility of an early election has long been brewing. Just then, Trump's "divine assist" unexpectedly appeared: facing harassment from an external enemy, Canadians are bound to unite and form a united front externally. Trudeau even rarely convened the provincial premiers who usually criticize him to discuss countermeasures together, thereby winning a brief respite for himself and the Liberal Party.

Overall, the imposition of tariffs is undoubtedly a "lifeline" for the current Canadian government to temporarily alleviate internal pressure amid both economic and political difficulties.
