China Just Crushed Canada's Lifeline With This, And It's About To Get Ugly!
Things just took a wild turn in the world of trade. Canada and China are in a serious standoff after Canada decided to hit Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) with some hefty tariffs. And guess what? China didn’t sit back and take it. They’ve fired back with an anti-dumping investigation into Canadian canola imports. Sounds like a plot twist from a tense thriller, right? But this is all too real, and it’s leaving Canadian farmers and policymakers scratching their heads. Alright, let’s set the stage. On August 26, 2023, Canada dropped a bombshell: a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs and a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his team were pretty clear about their reasons. They pointed fingers at unfair trading practices and, let’s be honest, some pretty rough environmental and labor standards coming out of China. These tariffs are set to kick in on October 1 for EVs and October 15 for steel and aluminum.
