"Elbows up" is a saying/slang/expression in hockey to mean "get ready to fight" (hockey basically allows guys to throw fists between plays for some reason). It is currently being used in political ads and other pro Canada ads in reference to the current trade war.

I was riffing off this, since (as a headline) this is just Canada rolling over for cry baby Trump. It's not elbows up. It's daddy Trump telling Carney off like a toddler and Carney cowering. "Elbows off the table!"
