Just curious if anyone has switched to a cheaper product than drywall since the new tariff was introduced, or if we need to just accept it and move forward.

SignUp Now!I just checked Homedepot.ca..it's still 7.49 per 4X8 sheet. When does the tariff kick in? I haven't seen it increase by 276% yet, as stated in one article I read.
Drywall is imported ? Why is there a tariff ?
Local home builders Assc is humping this story hard. Already "news" articles: "it's affecting the housing market!" (That article quoted $800 increase in drywall ing a house cost)... No, it isn't. Affecting some trades within? Sure.
An addition of $2,500 in drywall costs (if it was that high) is $125 needed for a down payment, and $9 in monthly mortgage. Roughly.
In Edmonton, at Home depot, 4X8 sheets of the half inch is under a supply constraint...you can only buy 50 sheets at a time now.
