The figures I have seen in a trade war with Canada is Canada causes a -.2% hit to US GDP while Canada gets a -2% hit. That is not going to work for Canada.
These aren't abuses of power though. We just largely got use to the president not trying to do all that much.
Obama issued 275 executive orders and Franklin Roosevelt issued 3721. Calvin Coolidge issued 1203. I think all the presidents during my lifetime combined issued less than Woodrow Wilson at 1803.
That is not to say I think a trade war with Canada is a good idea. It really makes no sense to me at all.
