[quote=Hobie]What is Canada doing with tariffs re exporting its lumber? Lumber mills in OR and WA have plenty of labor available and trees to harvest. Is this just the industry maybe taking advantage of the current construction boom.

This WSJ video takes a look at why lumber prices are up, pretty detailed.
I didn’t know about the US Government encouraging farmers in the south to plant trees, which will result in an abundance of lumber for years to come.
