Getting close to home. The US Department of Commerce announced duties of 28.25% and 32.09% on pulp and paper products made in BC by Catalyst and Kruger, respectively, effective in August. While renegotiating NAFTA. I guess the concept of bargaining in good faith is lost on some people.

Hell with 'em. Walk out of NAFTA talks, I say, and let's just deal on the open market. This stopped being worth the aggravation long ago.
 
It seems that the recent drop in US income tax revenue is getting Trump to seek tariff money to support his increased federal spending desires. So much for the party that preached about a smaller federal government. MAGA has become MAME (Make America More Expensive).
