Spruce 2x4s in Lowes from Germany, and they were picked over so we went to Home Depot, and theirs were from Sweden. Why do they want to put tariffs on lumber from Canada? Apparently, it's still cheaper for lumber to ride across the ocean on a ship instead of on a train from a little ways north of here?
