The guy at our lumberyard told me a month ago that steel roofing had risen 30% and they haven't even raised it yet.
I don't blame Trudeau for coming back at Trump on higher tariffs. Trump doesn't have a clue how this affects the economy. He doesn't like someone, he makes them pay for it. Who couldn't like Trudeau? We should be so lucky as Canadians to have him.

Edit: also note: Canada has in the last year signed trade deals with the EU and TPP - hedging bets? You betcha!
'Who's your daddy?' It will be certainly interesting in Corbyn wins the next UK election. Say good-bye to AIPAC influence, especially if NATO and the OAS fall apart.
