Sask. canola farmers angered with proposed Chinese sanctions
Saskatchewan canola farmers aren’t happy with the latest announcement by China to launch an anti-dumping investigation on Canadian canola.
China’s government announced the proposed sanctions on canola just days after the Canadian government said that it will be placing 100 per cent tariffs on electric vehicles coming from China.
Saskatchewan Canola farmer Keith Fournier said this isn’t the first time they’ve been hit by Chinese sanctions.
“The concern is memories go back to 2019 when we had the last conflict with China and some canola restrictions from some of the companies going in. That still weighs heavily on our mind,” he explained.
