🇨🇦 Ottawa discovers tariffs after gutting affordability A 25% temporary tariff on imported wood cabinets and vanities is Ottawa’s latest magic trick: make homes unaffordable, then pretend jacking up renovation costs is industrial policy. After years of Trudeau-era inflation, housing scarcity, and population growth pushed by mass immigration levels the country cannot absorb, the federal answer is to tax bathroom sinks and kitchen storage. As reported, the measure targets some imported products, dressed up as trade fairness while ordinary Canadians get another bill. This is the same ruling class that sermonizes about free trade, global integration, and post-national economics until domestic pressure forces a clumsy nationalist pose. No serious reindustrial strategy, no housing sanity, no border-to-labour-market coherence, just another patch on a system they broke. Ottawa loves using Canadians as shock absorbers for elite incompetence: flood demand, choke supply, inflate costs, then slap tariffs on furnishings and call it leadership. Sovereignty is not a temporary surcharge imposed after the damage is done. 🍁 Maple Chronicles
