Carney reaches ‘landmark’ tariff-quota deal with China on EVs, canola

BEIJING -- Canada has reached a deal with Beijing on Friday to slash tariffs on a set number of Chinese electric vehicles in exchange for China dropping duties on agriculture products, Prime Minister Mark Carney said as he concluded a highly-anticipated trip to China.

The deal marks a de-escalation in tensions with a country the Liberal government had, in recent years, branded as a disruptive power, and is getting mixed reactions in Canada.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford and some auto industry groups are slamming the plan as a threat to the country’s auto industry, but Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, who was in Beijing with Carney, was thrilled to see a deal he said will allow his province’s canola exports to China to return to normal levels

Carney described it as a “preliminary but landmark” agreement to remove trade barriers, part of a broader strategic partnership with China that includes increasing tourism and cultural ties. Carney also said Xi has committed to visa-free travel for Canadians to China.

“It’s a partnership that reflects the world as it is today, with an engagement that is realistic, respectful and interest-based,” Carney said at a news conference in Beijing.

The moron. Canola oil is a commodity, while cars are not. China can change its mind and get canola oil from anywhere in the future, but good luck to Canada in weaning itself off dependence upon Chinese cars once they’ve destroyed their own manufacturing capability.

I think Trump lives in Carney’s head and Carney is trying to prove he’s a big boy now who can negotiate like Trump. Good luck with that. The CCP will have his lunch.

Canada needs to understand the US has a vital, essential interest in their international affairs.

And our vote is 51%.

This is great and would be funny if it were no so sad. This fool Canadian doesn’t realize he is being played by the Chicoms. They are getting ready to dump their EVS which NOBODY wants on this fool.

Canadians are like sheep. Their MSM and political leadership have made Donald Trump into the boogieman that haunts the sleep of Canadians. They pay more attention to what’s going on in the USA than they do to their own government, which is robbing them blind and wrecking their economy. It’s really pathetic.

Canada has been a Chinese colony for awhile so it’s not so surprising. Not sure how well these cars work in the freezing cold Canadian summers

Carney is an appointed governor for the crown colony of Canada, parachuted in to Ottawa by his London/Davos masters, to oppose all things “MAGA” and especially, Trump.

Please, President Trump, ‘Maduro-ize’ Crime Minister of Canaduh, Mark ‘of the Beast’ Carney! Also, there are PLENTY of other criminals within it, and formerly in this government, who are all motherWEFers, hell bent on NWO, like Carney said yesterday! BTW, that evil 🧙‍♀️, Chrystia Freakland, has buggered off to Ukraine, home of her deceased Nazi grandpa! Please scoop her up, also.

The US is 80% of the Canadian exports of Canola oil. Trump should jack up the tariff on it and watch Carney barker squirm.

As a Canadian I’m so embarrassed. Just a year ago in a leader’s debate Carney said that China was the biggest threat to international security. How he can pivot so fast is breathtaking. I believe this will not bode well for upcoming USMCA trade talks: 77% of our trade is with the US, a paltry ~3.7% with China. All of our ills are self-induced yet, as ill behaved tots, we blame others.
