Woodworking Network: The U.S. Department of Commerce announced its final decision in the sixth administrative review of the countervailing duty order on softwood lumber from Canada, and determined that softwood lumber from Canada was being unfairly subsidized at rates ranging from 12.12 percent to 16.82 percent. The final anti-subsidy rate rose to 14.63 percent, which was up from 6.74 percent determined in the previous administrative review.

The asinine games with raising and lowering tariffs has been hurting more American businesses and families then they have helped. Especially with the United States supposed free trade partner of Canada, the United States plays with tariffs like a child rolling dice. Thankfully they have not taken the dice rolls lying down. With the United States current and long running housing crisis you would think they would try to encourage more houses rather than raising the prices to build them. The want to help improve the United States timber industry is laudable but the current action to get there is not. The current administration's actions show that they do not care about the average American though time and time again so it is really no surprise. The increase in trade tariffs shows again the that the businesses in America are more important than the citizens that uphold the United States
