With the United States changing up its tariff system, placing a 25 percent tax on incoming goods from Canada and Mexico, among other countries, and seeking to impose reciprocal taxes on all countries that import into the USA, essentially charging the same tariffs on countries that already charge tariffs on The United States, industry leaders in Alberta are looking to their allies for support. At a recent Whitecourt Town Council meeting, Brock Mulligan, Senior Vice President of the Alberta Forest Products Association (AFPA), presented an overview of what Alberta’s forestry industry is facing and how community leaders can help support changes by advocating to the provincial government. …The AFPA requested that Whitecourt Town Council send a letter to the provincial government. “The letter, we were hoping, would talk about some of the mitigative actions that could be taken to help us through this time.”
