It is not a short term thing though. The Trump world's view and action on trade will cause a secular change to the economy. The deterioration of relations, likewise.
The tools politicians (especially opposition ones) have are words. So it shouldn't surprise that mirroring the conduct and words of right wing proto-authoritarism, of which Trump is the most visible, ties him to Trump. The previous leader has worn a MAGA hat, his campaign manager too. A lot of conservatives were quite happy at Trump winning again, so fixated they were on Keystone XL being resurrected somehow (even if it isn't needed), and so convinced they were that his talk on trade was just a lie. Then, they swallowed hook, line and sinker, arguments about border security and fentanyl, acting like if Canada was somehow just better, the tariffs threats would go away. People obviously noticed.
There is also, the CPC and Poilievre suffer from a disqualification problem which caps their accessible voter universe. Only when Trudeau was viewed as so negative, especially when interest rates spiked and squeezed household budgets, and the international student surge destroyed the entry level job market especially in Ontario, did Trudeau's negatives go so high, that they pushed beyond the disqualification of the CPC. Once Trudeau was gone, the symbolic carbon tax was soon to be gone, and interest rates had been declining for months, and the labour force maxed out and started shrinking, those voters moved back. Surprisingly, NDP voters who didn't like trudeau, associated Singh very much with Trudeau, and also abandoned the NDP for the Liberals.
I think the concern over energy policy is overwrought. Oil production and exports are at a record, with massive pipeline expansions being completed both to the coast and into the mid-west. There is excess capacity. A 10% tariff is maybe 5x a barrel what carbon pricing is, and the feds with the province are all in to subsidize the majority of the cost of carbon capture and storage, which industry has told us for 20 years would green the oil sands (at one point the Harper policy was no oil sands facilities after 2012 without either carbon capture or nuclear, and net zero by 2080, 80% reduction by 2050 iirc).
The PM is talking about new pipelines for export and to at least Ontario and Quebec (so they can't be cut off from USA transhipment). Talking about waving federal assessments for most projects. Things are moving incredibly fast.
The past is truly another country in this case. Canada is under existential threat, and since you don't see that, you miss the opportunities that that creates to do things differently and switch from our mode of operating for the past 70 years, focused on the USA market. In a fight like this, an economic fight, Canada's ability to earn money from selling our natural resources is goal #1. I think in 10 years we will be amazed at what Canada has accomplished over from 2025-2035, and how it sets us up for the next century. I think there are hints at that from Poilievre, but the temptation right now for his is to revert to slogans and blame, and the belief that complicated problems have simple solutions.
