CA Sign in Canada Cuts Lumber Supply BIG MISTAKE for US Housing Market
America’s housing affordability is being squeezed from every direction—but Trump lumber tariffs may be the hidden accelerant. In this video, we break down how Trump lumber tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber disrupt the integrated North American supply chain, push construction costs higher, and deepen a housing crisis that was already near breaking point.
You’ll learn why the U.S. can’t instantly replace Canadian supply, how the decades-long Softwood Lumber dispute keeps repeating, and why Trump lumber tariffs risk creating long-term damage on both sides of the border—closing Canadian mills and raising building costs for American families. We also look ahead to why 2026 could be the turning point where policy choices collide with physical production limits.
