Pardon me John, but why would the Chinese ship stuff to Mexico and then truck it to Canada? Has Canada closed the port facilities in Vancouver? No?

Do Canadian ports offload as cheaply as Mexican ports?

Pardon me John, but why would the Chinese ship stuff to Mexico and then truck it to Canada?Because China controls both ends of the Panama Canal and Mexico is closer (and cheaper) to the canal.
Besides the obvious economic reasons, Mexico is also a wee bit more 'lax' when it comes to inspecting cargo containers.
Draw your own conclusions.

“Pardon me John, but why would the Chinese ship stuff to Mexico and then truck it to Canada?” Low cost of labor no union longshoremen.
