CHARLEBOIS: Canada keeps losing at geopolitics, and farmers pay the price

Canada has walked itself into an unnecessary trade war with the United States’ biggest geopolitical rival, China.

The consequences are clear: new retaliatory tariffs from China are directly targeting our farmers, affecting over $3-billion worth of agrifood commodities and products.

These measures are a direct response to Canada’s decision to impose a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in October, a move designed to align with U.S. trade policy and shield the North American auto sector from low-cost competition.
