  1. Article from 2017, https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/a-guide-to-understanding-the-dairy-dispute-between-the-us-andcanada/article34802291/ Canada has long maintained a high tariff wall on most dairy products. The duty on milk is 270 per cent. That keeps most imports from the United States and elsewhere out of Canada, while helping to prop up higher domestic prices.

  2. The US Department of Commerce has said it has concluded that imports of Canadian softwood lumber are being unfairly subsidised. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada%E2%80%93United_States_softwood_lumber_dispute The Softwood Lumber Agreement expired on October 12, 2015. Canadian producers of softwood lumber now have unfettered access to the US softwood lumber market. .... On April 25, 2017, the Trump administration announced plans to impose duties of up to 24% on most Canadian lumber, charging that lumber companies are subsidized by the government.[34] The duties are on the five firms: West Fraser Mills, Tolko Marketing and Sales, J. D. Irving, Canfor Corporation, and Resolute FP Canada. West Fraser Mills will pay the highest duty of 24%. Notice, 1. US's 24 percent is lower than Canada's 270 percent 2. US placed duties in April 2017 which is after Canada's 2016 trade protection for dairy products.
