Keith Gerein's article in the Edmonton Journal discusses the potential impact of the U.S. considering new tariffs on Canadian lumber, which could significantly affect Edmonton's economy, particularly its forestry sector.

He calls for a collective effort from Edmontonians to support local industries, foster innovation, and remain adaptable to mitigate the potential negative impacts of the tariffs.
