As it said in the OP's article... we aren't the world's piggy bank anymore.
I don't see what's wrong with taking a stand.
Now I can understand being put off on Trump's method of communicating his displeasure... but that's who he is. It's such a drastic change from having US leaders put on a smile and give away the store, that they don't know how to deal with him.

Unlike other recent Presidents, Trump doesn't care about winning a popularity contest there. He tells them what he thinks and how it is as far as he's concerned and won't support agendas he doesn't think benefits the U.S. I respect that.

From the article...
Throughout his remarks on Saturday, Mr. Trump repeatedly returned to his broader complaints about trade practices around the world, insisting that it was the fault of past American leaders who had agreed to deals that benefited other countries more than the United States.
He complained that American dairy farmers were being treated unfairly by Canada.
“The United States pays tremendous tariffs on dairy, as an example, 270 percent,” he said. “Nobody knows that.”
“We don’t want to pay anything,” he said. “Why should we pay?”
The president also said American farmers had been hurt for a long time by trade barriers that made it harder for them to sell their goods to other countries.
“You look at our farmers,” he said. “For 15 years, the graph has gone just like this: down.”
“I blame our leaders,” Mr. Trump said. “In fact, I congratulate the leaders of other countries for so crazily being able to make these trade deals that were so good for their country and so bad for the United States. But those days are over.”
What good is cheap goods if the country loses billions of trade dollars every year?

Nothing he agrees to is worth the paper it is written on.

American consumers dont pay Canadian tariffs, the Canadian consumer does.
