In this podcast Hardlines interviews Russ Permann, president and CEO of Taiga Building Products in Burnaby, B.C., spoke to us in the July 2025 issue of the Hardlines What’s In Store Podcast. In this podcast we explore tariffs: what they are, how they have affected the LBM industry, and the prospects for the rest of 2025 in Canada. And, since Taiga has a significant American division, south of the border, too. Russ Permann was interviewed by Hardlines editors Geoff McLarney and Steve Payne.
