BTW, how did that cig tariff work out for you?
(Note: I'm not Canadian, so if this was a tariff imposed in Canada I probably don't know much about it.)
Lumber mills in parts of western Canada have access to an enormous supply of lumber that can be purchased for almost nothing. Energy companies are cutting down trees all up and down the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains to clear space for all the new oil and gas operations up there, and they the raw timber is sold for peanuts just to make whatever money they can on the side.
