Trump could crush Canada's softwood exports. Here's how a new crisis could play out
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Canada-U.S. softwood lumber trade relationship has dealt with ups and downs, disputes and resolutions, for decades. Anxiety for Canadian exporters is reaching a fever pitch again as the U.S. threatens to more than double softwood lumber duties and add even steeper tariffs under a national security investigation. Article content Canadian foresters, mills, and governments that enjoy taxes, economic spinoffs and stumpage fees from Crown land will feel the pain if they lose too much access to the massive U.S. market. But larger producers have been preparing for just this kind of contingency and have cleverly hedged their bets, building capacity in the U.S., where they can sell as much as they want to Americans, tariff-free. Article content Article content Canadian firms will soon receive word from the U.S. Commerce Department's Sixth Administrative Review (AR6) of U.S. countervailing and anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber exports, with the rate expected to jump from around 14 per cent to roughly 34 per cent. For Canfor, the Vancouver-based lumber giant selected as a mandatory respondent in the AR6 review, it will be even worse. Its duties are calculated based on its own shipments and prices, not an industry average, like it is for other companies. Article content Article content Then there's the threat of tariffs from President Donald Trump's ongoing national security investigation of Canadian lumber imports under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act, which he ordered in March and is due late this year. Currently, lumber shipments are exempted from Trump's baseline tariffs, because they're covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal (USMCA), but that could soon change based on the findings of the 232 probe. Article content Article content National Post breaks down the position of the two countries, what the impacts could be, and how Canadian producers are trying to mitigate the potential damage of punitive trade barriers. Article content Article content The U.S. Lumber Coalition is playing for keeps. It backs higher anti-dumping duties and tariffs for what it sees as a subsidized domestic industry. It claims Canadian producers don't pay market rates for stumpage because their forests are publicly owned and provincial governments set the stumpage rates, while U.S. producers face higher market rates. But it doesn't stop there: the U.S. coalition also wants to see Canada's U.S. market share significantly chopped. Article content Miller isn't shy about the goals: 'A countrywide quota with no exemptions and no carveouts, and a single-digit market share' for Canadian lumber. Article content Today, Canada has a 25 per cent market share, with exports of 12 billion feet of softwood lumber to the U.S. each year, according to the coalition. Softwood lumber accounts for about 7.5 per cent of Canadian exports; in 2023, the U.S. was the destination for 68 per cent of those forestry products. The whole industry is worth about $33.4 billion in sales annually and employs more than 200,000 workers across Canada, according to a report this year from RBC.

WIENS: Defending Canadian dairy farms is worth taking a stand
Dairy cows on a farm in B.C. on December 19, 2024. Photo by Postmedia Files With the increasing volatility in global supply chains, there's never been a better time to defend Canada's food security and sovereignty. Unfortunately, in his editorial opinion column, Postmedia's Lorne Gunter feeds into a misleading narrative about the dairy trade with the United States and disregards the strength and stability supply management delivers for Canadians.

Create Account Under several trade agreements — chief among them, the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) negotiated with the first Trump administration — a large quantity of dairy products enter Canada tariff-free until they reach the tariff rate quota. Under CUSMA, the U.S. can send 49 million litres of milk to Canada every year, before a single drop would have a tariff imposed. And that tariff-free amount is set to continue to grow gradually over the next 13 years. Canada presently has a $520-million dairy trade deficit with the U.S. and American dairy exports to Canada have increased by 67% since 2021, to $877 million in 2024. Canada is America's second-largest dairy customer and is also its largest customer per capita. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

Supply management has delivered food security and sovereignty to Canada for more than six decades by producing dairy here for Canadians. It aligns production with demand to deliver high-quality, diverse products at stable prices for consumers and a fair return for farmers. It also strengthens our economy, with 339,000 Canadian jobs fuelled by the supply-managed dairy, poultry and egg sectors and $30.1 billion contributed to Canada's gross domestic product. If anything, the recent trade dynamics show us we need to be able to take care of ourselves. Supply management means we have a steady supply of key food items, like dairy, made here when we need it. It protects consumers from shortages driven by supply chain disruptions, diseases or natural disasters. For example, egg prices in the U.S. skyrocketed this year because of avian flu. Canadians were not impacted thanks to the strength of supply management. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Moreover, the price of supply-managed products is generally in line with or below inflationary trends in Canada. In December 2024, the 12-month average dairy consumer price index increased 2%, compared to a 2.7% increase in food generally. In 2024, Canadian milk averaged $1.64 per litre, close to the U.S. price of $1.44. Over the same period, yogurt, cheese and butter prices were similar or lower in Canada compared to the U.S. It should also be noted that countries such as the United States heavily subsidize their dairy industry for production, forcing taxpayers to pay twice for their milk (once at the store and again through their taxes). In contrast, Canadian dairy farmers do not receive similar production subsidies. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. With over 9,000 dairy farms spread across every province, the benefits of supply management extend far beyond any single province or region. Gunter overlooks the importance of supply management to the vibrancy of rural communities from coast to coast. As a Western farmer from a small community in Manitoba, I know family-owned dairy farms bring stability to local economies by creating jobs in not just agriculture, but transportation, veterinary care, nutrition, etc. Canadians can also find local dairy products on store shelves in all provinces. As dairy farmers, we are proud to take a Team Canada approach, focused on doing what we do best — producing quality Canadian milk for Canadians. And dairy farmers have been heartened by the tremendous support consumers have expressed by choosing Canadian products. In this time of increasing global volatility, the facts demonstrate that supply management continues to prove its value, delivering stability, security and high-quality local food on our tables in every part of this country. Canadians have every reason to stand behind it. David Wiens is a dairy farmer and president of the Dairy Farmers of Canada Toronto & GTA Editorial Cartoons Toronto & GTA Toronto Blue Jays World

Vancouver's FIFA World Cup contract could affect downtown restaurants
Last week, The Breaker website obtained the City of Vancouver's contract with FIFA ahead of the upcoming 2026 World Cup in the city. The contract details how a large zone around B.C. Place Stadium will have to be closed to traffic and some restaurant advertising may have to be removed. Ian Tostenson from the B.C. Restaurant and Food Services Association says the implications of the contract are unclear, but they could be disastrous for bars and restaurants in downtown Vancouver.
