USA! 59617096 Trump slaps first tariffs on Canadian lumber by Patrick Gillespie @CNNMoneyInvest April 24, 2017: 11:11 PM ET The Trump administration is hitting Canada with stiff tariffs of up to 24% on lumber shipped into the United States. These are the first tariffs imposed by President Trump, who during his election campaign threatened to use them on imports from both China and Mexico. The decision on Monday is bound to lead to a standoff and could stoke fears of a trade war between the US and Canada, two of the world's largest trade powers. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said the tariffs, or taxes, announced Monday evening were being imposed after trade talks on dairy products fell through. "It has been a bad week for US-Canada trade relations," Ross said in a statement. [link to money.cnn.com] USA! USA! USA! :flag waver: He can only do that because nobody is building much of anything in the states anymore. The trees will just grow bigger and that's a good thing. Like a savings account to be invested with a partner that has a healthy economy. If Trumptards are right then you'll be back looking for wood. |

Casts about the same as 2x6 framing, but is not subject to rot, termites, etc, and is much stronger & loner lasting.

The Trump administration is hitting Canada with stiff tariffs of up to 24% on lumber shipped into the United States. The US have always been whiners about lumber, so maybe there is something to it. This should placate the anti canuck tards for a while but will have a negative effect for all involved shortly down the road when we start doing the tit for tat shit. I , for one, think that we should go pre NAFTA and boot all major US retailers that set up shop here and obliterated everything with their big box garbage. You know who I am talking about. I kinda preferred being a regional backwater with mom and pop shops and family owned retailers like towers, simpsons etc. |

We could easily conquer the whole ice sheet and use the timber as we see fit. We only give them a seat at the table out of generosity and kindness. And look how it gets repaid? |
