Say this for the outrage of BC Ferries preparing to spend an estimated $1 billion to buy four ferries from China, a country doing great injury to Prairie farmers and to fishers in Atlantic Canada and B.C. by imposing tariffs on roughly $4 billion of imported Canadian canola, seafood and pork.
It gives the Carney government a bargaining chip to help negotiate an end to our trade dispute with China by suspending the ferry deal at least for now.
Canada provoked the trade war last year when it put tariffs on imported Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum.
