Prime Minister Mark Carney’s press conference on Friday after his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping was chock-full of news, a strange surprise given that the PM had been spinning everyone toward low expectations before the trip began.
The two countries had struck a deal in which Canada would dramatically lower its tariff rate on Chinese-made electric vehicles and China would slash its levies on canola seed, along with removing tariffs on certain other agriculture and food products, Mr. Carney announced in Beijing.
A sympathetic piece from Carney’s corporate cronies at the Globe but it’s not entirely without merit.
Sigh … Carney made a security deal with our fentanyl dealer.
