I'm with you Stephen. Canadians should refuse to buy US made wine, beer, and liquor. This sort of retaliation should begin at the grassroots level. We don't need the government to lead this initiative.

US slaps Canada with stiff lumber tariff

American homebuilders denounced the US
decision, saying it would harm consumers by
making homes less affordable.

"If the entire 29% border duties are reflected in
US prices, this will add nearly $1,500 to the cost
of building a typical new home," said Bobby
Rayburn, a homebuilder in Jackson, Mississippi.

Mr Rayburn, who also serves on the National
Association of Home Builders, says the US
government's calculations for determining
Canada's forest-industry subsidy were imprecise.

"Independent trade
panels have reviewed
Canada's timber pricing
on three separate
occasions," Mr Rayburn
said.

"In each case... it was
ultimately determined
that the Canadian
government did not
provide unfair
subsidies."
