We're talking about tariffs and Canadian homebuilders on today's episode of our "Better Building With Buck" podcast - and a big thank-you to our special guest, Ben Station with "Station Craft", for joining us today to discuss this very important topic.

In this episode, we dive into how the ongoing US-Canada tariff situation is affecting Canadian homebuilders and construction suppliers. With rising costs and supply chain challenges, we discuss how supporting local Canadian suppliers can help mitigate the impact of these trade wars. If you're in the homebuilding industry or just curious about the effects of tariffs, this episode will give you valuable insights on how to navigate these turbulent times while contributing to the growth of Canada's building industry.

Join us for a closer look at how these tariffs are reshaping the homebuilding landscape in Canada and how we can come together to support local suppliers and build a stronger, more resilient future for Canadian homes.
