Very stupid indeed, but it's sort of silly for people to suggest Canada can just ditch US trade. 70% of your exports go to us, and there is no way you're just going to be able to make that up on other countries. Both will need to work something out.
Also, protectionism did indeed contribute a lot to the Great Depression, and this is easily the dumbest thing Obama has done in office (he has done some pretty good things too, mind you).
