Trade Wars Solve Nothing: Canola & EV Tariffs Need to End.

Western Canadian farmers are paying the price—again. The Federal Government’s reckless trade policies have put us in the crosshairs, pitting Eastern Canada against the West while doing nothing to protect our industries. China is weaponizing trade, and instead of defending Canadian farmers and manufacturers, Ottawa is making it worse. Tariffs don’t create winners—they weaken competitiveness, limit productivity, and threaten our future in agriculture.

“The Federal Liberal Governments decision to put tariffs on China has put Western Canadian canola growers in the crosshairs. They have once again pitted Eastern Canada against Western Canada.” Stated Gunter Jochum. “We demand that the Canadian government remove the EV tariffs on China and negotiate an immediate end to the tariffs that could shut down the Canola industry in Canada.”

We can’t keep being collateral damage in a trade war we didn’t start. It’s time for the Federal Government to stop playing political games with our livelihoods. We need to end EV tariffs on China and force a solution to China’s unfair tariffs on canola. Canadian farmers and businesses deserve better.
