Hockey Sticks

Effective tariff rates are going to change on Friday for the 45th time in the last 18 months -- an average of once every 12 days.  Rates will ratchet up yet again next month if President Trump's recently announced 50 percent levy on some Canadian goods goes into effect.

That includes hockey sticks, a product that serves as both a symbol of Canada and possibly a visual of what'll happen to prices, too.
