Stressed About Tariffs? Time to Fix Your Focus I cannot let this week go by without addressing what everybody is seeing in the news and that is tariffs. Although tariffs on Canadian lumber have not increased further at this time, the reality is that the impact of expansive, across-the-board tariffs is starting to be felt both in our economy and on the housing market.
