Isn’t it easy to fall into the trap of resenting the insufferable fools in command of the political parties? I’m not sure who is worse, Trudeau or Scheer, but they could be equally horrid. Trump is a real trouble maker as well, and he is from a parallel universe. How this relates to the ‘little guy’ has recently become even more clear. The metal tarrifs are now causing some havoc with pricing of basic goods such as tin ducts. This is passed onto the builder through rising prices. It seems that every policy change has the same outcome, rising cost and margin compression and it hits the business owner earliest. Are we going to enter into an unhealthy stagflationary cycle? Appears so.
After they screw up the supply management system further maybe they can cause some more harm to the building industry.
