USA imposes 20% tariff on Canadian softwood lumber.
This is a problem with our American neighbours to the south. Because they are taught since childbirth that America is number one at everything, they cannot fathom the possibly that they are wrong on occasion. Six times since 1983 this issue has gone to the world trade panel / courts, and they have lost every single time. But USA is number one, therefore the courts are wrong not to take their side, so let's try it again until the courts see it their way, or the Canadian companies go broke ( the real intention here).

They will never stop. The USA is the biggest protectionist in N.A. Something has to happen. They cannot keep claiming that every country in the world is taking advantage of them: Mexico, Canada, Japan, China and more. Did you read about the dairy industry and wine in BC? Nuts

Don't forget the energy sector.
Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says U.S. President Donald Trump is likely to have some unhappy supporters south of the border if he goes after Canadian energy with trade sanctions.
Notley, who is on a trade mission in China, says she doesn't know what Trump was talking about last week when he lumped energy in with what he considers are other trade irritants, including softwood lumber and dairy.
"We're not exactly sure what it is he was referring to,'' Notley said in a conference call Monday. "We're trying to get a sense of that.''
She noted that many of Trump's backers need and want energy from north of the border, so Canada is likely to have a lot of allies.
