The new deal Prime Minister Mark Carney signed with China will see tariffs on canola seed drop to 15% in March, down from the current 85%.#news #canada #cana...
I am very pleasantly surprised with the reactions to this, it’s a testament to how badly the US’s PR has gone in Canada. ‘Fuck the US’ is a good step one to anti-imperialism in Canada, and the best way for farmers to realize China isn’t a big bad guy is by them getting paid from trade with China. Canola is a huge industry and basically only the US and China buy it, but at least Xi isn’t going to threaten to invade when renegotiations come up
In our case we are in direct competition with the US to supply China with soybeans and mineral resources and STILL the big landowners gaslight themselves into being pro US and spending their political capital accordingly. China swoops in and buys the coffee Trump taxed and they still put all their eggs on the american basket.
