The only mistake here is to regard this issue as a single dimensional deal.
1: I am not in favor of tariffs.
2: Canada has been dumping super cheap softwood over the past year or so.
3: Whatever price ramp is occurring right now may very well be influenced by tariffs
4: But there have been some pretty serious wildfires in Canada’s wood producing areas and that has affected the amounts they have been able to produce.
So I am not saying thing “X” is causing thing “Y”. There are generally multiple causes and this IMO is a case in point. Thus, when I read an article that says “X” is right now causing “Y” while ignoring “Z”, it undercuts the credibility of the article.
i don’t see problem with Canuck supplies of softwood products.
After all they are now socialists who are undercutting the market price to their long term detriment,
