Canadian exports of beef, pork, canola and soybeans have largely been locked out of the massive Chinese market following the December arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou

OTTAWA — China’s move to stop buying several Canadian agricultural products has punished some farmers, and now industry leaders are worrying about the prospect of a broader threat — an eventual U.S.-China trade deal.

“If Trump forces China to buy a lot of American agri-food products, we won’t be selling Canadian agri-food products to China,” said Brian Innes, president of the Canadian Agri-food Trade Alliance. Canada may benefit in the short term, but we're going to get whiplash if Trump makes a deal with China “I suspect that that trade stops overnight. Trade is being driven by politics and not the markets — and that’s something that it is of significant risk.”

Release our hostage.

Yeah what did you expect? US wanted the Huawei exec arrested and using her as weapon to damage our trade with China. And people and Trudeau are getting it up the arse from Trump and they don’t realize it. How dumb can the liberals be

Yes, but we'll have that warm, fuzzy feeling of US 'friendship', knowing that we lived up to the terms of our extradition treaty with the US, supporting US hegemony, while the Americans steal our market share in canola, pork, and other agricultural products. Imbeciles. cdnpoli

Canada needs to plan for the future without any type of trade with China. If China comes around to our WAY of thinking, trading with them would be a bonus than but on our terms not theirs.
