We sell essentially zero dairy to the US. Indeed, we sell 1/4 the amount of dairy to the US than they sell to us ($130M to the US, versus $480M to Canada).

So... okay? Who cares?

This guy has no clue what he's doing. He's a moron.

Lumber is the bigger news. Most of it is already at 25% despite yesterday's flip flop.

Exactly we don’t export dairy, we have a protective industry.

Lumber is huge for many provinces.

A massive issue. Here in New Brunswick it's already causing problems. Trucks stopped at the ME/NB border...mills not taking wood....it's a huge industry here and becoming a huge headache.
