This is continuation of American bullying of Canadian imports in response to pressure from US interests. In this case, it's Boeing. In softwood lumber, we are in the 4th round of punitive duties dating back to 1982. The current rate is 24%. To me, this is consistent, bullying American practices as identified here by others. With the current US politics, like many other Canadians, I am doing my best to limit my travel to the US and the buying of US goods & services. I just declined long-haul travel through the US at the lowest price to pay more to travel through Europe. It's called "Miss America"!
