Of course Trump is going to have trouble with the Republicans in congress.

He's a moderate.

And the Republican establishment fought him all the way.

Hell, a lot of them endorsed Hillary, or came damn close to it.

Probably because Canada buys so much fro us and is in effect our biggest trading partner. Also our auto makers did not send jobs to Canada they simply bought out Canadian auto makers - Buick bought McLaughlin, Pontiac bought Oakland, etc. They even bought the Iron Ore company in Quebec, USA got the ore and Canada got the shaft.

As for keystone XL it is being shipped by rail at the moment - a pipeline will be safer, as the folks in Lac Megantic, Quebec.

What is the purpose of the EO to build a wall then? This is to convince his choir that he won the popular vote if not for the 3 million illegals that also voted. He has even ordered his henchmen to look into voting irregularities to build on this myth, which is actually a blatant lie.

A con artist at work is what I see.

Maybe the purpose is to try to follow through on a promise that was one of the cornerstones of his campaign. Did you think of that?

Yes and only his low information voters could have believed him. It was impossible then, even more so now.
