......is aimed at appeasing gypsum producers in Ontario and penalizing US producers that supply Western Canada, that the Trudeau government accuses of dumping onto the market.....the problem though, this is going to hurt builders in Western Canada, namely British Columbia's Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria region (which have some of lowest unemployment rates in Canada) and without a doubt help cool one of the most positive sectors in BC's economy......this, combined with the BC Liberal's foreign buyer's tax, should help stall BC's real estate market.....and in turn, one of the few Province's with an actual stable economy....... ..........But it gets even better.......the previous Liberal governments handling of softwood lumber (which the Americans accused us of dumping on their market) was one of many reasons that British Columbians soured on the Federal Liberals in the 1990s and early 2000s (With softwood only be resolved by the Harper Government)....Now the Liberals are accusing the Americans of dumping drywall? What do you figure the Americans response will be with softwood lumber? We are weeks away from the end of the softwood lumber deal's (which expired last year) grace period, at such time, the Americans can launch a counter trade actions against Western Canadian lumber....... Trudeau........you're doing it wrong.......and if they think they can blame this on protectionist Americans in Washington, just wait until (if) Trump becomes president.........Oh well, look at it this way, when the BC forestry industry dries up, following the construction and real estate markets, BC will always have "cheap hydroelectric energy" to sell to the Americans generated from the Site C Dam (Which Trudeau also approved )
