why not just get rid of our dairy supply mgmt so we can isolate one issue instead of it spreading across multiple industries
the tariffs are just closing us off...remember we need the US way more than they need us
even then, building homes in the US have gotten more expensive because of the lumber tariffs..pricing the poor out while Canadian corporations rake in record profits

According to the U.S.-based National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), American tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber have caused housing prices in the United States to jump by an average of $9,000 per home, making it impossible for some low- and middle-income Americans to get into the housing market.

I feel like people who can't afford a small increase of $9000 to the total price shouldn't be looking at homes in that range to begin with. I realize Vancouver housing prices aren't the same as many areas down in the USA, but even so $9k isn't a lot of money.
