B.C.’s softwood lumber U.S. tariffs now higher than Russia’s: ‘Let that sink in’

British Columbia's Premier David Eby has highlighted a concerning development: the tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber exported to the U.S. are now higher than those imposed on Russian lumber. This situation raises significant questions about trade fairness and the competitive landscape for Canadian producers, as it could impact the lumber industry and the economy in B.C. Understanding these tariffs is crucial for stakeholders and consumers alike, as they could lead to increased prices and reduced availability of Canadian wood products.
