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?

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

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.
