I was thinking about what are the main things the U.S. buys from Canada?

Note: I realized I needed to say this is because of new tariffs on everything the U.S. buys from  Canada.

When I thought about it it would be Timber to build houses with (25% more)

And oil for driving cars and trucks with (25%) more too.

So, this will tend to make food cost more (from gas prices costing more to deliver food to Supermarkets and restaurants)

And it will make new housing up to 25% more expensive to buy lumber to build this housing. So, logically this will make the housing crisis in the U.S. much worse and cause even more people to live in their cars or motor homes in order to survive and be able to still buy food and not starve.

Note: For example, as the 60% of the people in the Fires in Los Angeles County try to rebuild their homes because their homes were actually insured they might find that the costs of rebuilding them now could be up to 25% more than their fire insurance will actually cover. So, you can see the problems already associated with rebuilding houses in Los Angeles that would be associated with tariffs on Canadian goods.
