It looks like 12% was applied on a bunch of other Canadian goods too, based on the actual details emerging.

My business is immediately impacted, as we had cross-border customers under the existing trade agreements (NAFTA, and NAFTA2.0). Suddenly our US customers have to pay 12% more to use our products. I guess that is the point though, right?
