Targets talk about retaliation if they think the tariffs have some chance of succeeding, true. Targets also talk about retaliation if they think retaliation has a chance of succeeding.

- nullhole 2y agoThere are two possible reactions to tariffs that you think will put political pressure on you. One is to retaliate. You only do this if you think you might win the trade war. Canada retaliated, and Canada thinks it might win the trade war. The other is to roll over. You only do this if you don't think you'll win the trade war. That's what Columbia did. Retaliation is a sign that the attack was strong, yes, but it's also a sign that the defence is strong.

The situation is a bit different IMO, Colombia had a clear reason for getting tariffs and it was possible for them to roll over. Canada though, it's not even clear why the tariffs are there or what Canada could do not to have tariffs. There isn't really anything for Canada to do except retaliate.
