I must admit that I’m curious if there are any goods from Canada that USA depends on. It could be hilarious if Canada chose to tax EXPORTS of such goods. Increasing US prices even more. Problem is I don’t think there is much to do that on if any at all.
But an American lumber crisis like 2021 caused by Canadian export taxes undermining the entire US real estate market could be fun. 😋
Maybe Canada could tax oils exports, as USA despite being the biggest producer in the world, is still dependent on huge oil Imports.
That post by Merc has a lot of good ideas, when it comes to it, USA is making a lot more money on services, that could be freely copied, while USA is way more dependent on actual goods.
In such a trade war, I think USA would surely lose.
So what do you suggest should be done instead?

Going after US tech is an obvious move. Digital services taxes, etc.
Some others have ideas.
