Why would Germany invade Canada?

More seriously, I will be pretty surprised if this particular stupidity escalates to any kind of military action.

It probably won't directly escalate to military action, but the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930 did make it a lot easier for the Nazis to take power in 1932.

Edit: I'd be grateful for an explanation for why this might be getting downvoted.
