I thought we were getting a lot of lumber from Canada.

I live in an area that for decades depended on the timber industries and it has dried up, plants have closed.

We do get a lot of lumber from Canada. However, there is an ongoing dispute that is currently causing some discontent between us and the Canadians that stems from Canada's subsidizing their timber industry. The U.S. has slapped a tarriff on softwood lumber imported from Canada.
