China announces retaliatory tariffs on some Canadian farm, food products
Levies to be applied to rapeseed oil, peas and other goods

China announced tariffs on Canadian agricultural and food products on Saturday, retaliating against levies Ottawa introduced in October on Chinese-made electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products.
The tariffs announced by the Ministry of Commerce, to take effect on March 20, add a new front to a trade war largely driven by U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China and threats of protectionist measures on other nations.
China will apply a 100 per cent tariff on Canadian rapeseed oil, oil cakes and pea imports, and a 25 per cent duty on Canadian aquatic products and pork, the ministry said in a statement.
Canada's 100 per cent tariff on Chinese EVs and 25 per cent levy on its aluminum and steel products "seriously violate World Trade Organization rules, constitute a typical act of protectionism and are discriminatory measures that severely harm China's legitimate rights and interests," the ministry said.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in August that Ottawa was imposing the levies to counter what he called China's intentional state-directed policy of over-capacity, following the lead of the United States and European Union, both of which have also applied import levies to Chinese-made EVs.
China is Canada's second-largest trading partner, trailing far behind the U.S.
'Widespread and negative impact'
Chris Davison, president and CEO of the Canola Council of Canada, told CBC News on Saturday that China's announcement "is going to have a widespread and negative impact across the Canadian canola industry."
"To say that people are anxious would be an understatement," Davison said. He added that American and Chinese markets together "typically represent over 75 per cent of Canadian global canola trade."
On Friday, the federal government announced some tariff relief measures for Canadian businesses and workers, including $1 billion in new financing through Farm Credit Canada to reduce financial barriers for the Canadian agriculture and food industry.
Davison said in the "immediate short term, there will be a need for the federal government to support the Canadian canola industry financially."
He also said there needs to be "meaningful engagement" between Ottawa and all of Canada's major trading partners.
"All markets have risks associated with them, and we need to manage those risks effectively," Davison said. "And that requires good, strong engagement between two governments in this case."

REPORT: Trump Refuses $50 Billion Agreement With Ukraine, Will Not Sell Kiev Regime Patriot Air Defense Systems and Missiles
by Paul Serran Apr. 16, 2025
The European Liberal-Globalist media is slowly and painfully awakening to the reality of US President Donald J. Trump’s new approach toward Ukraine policy.
The last time Kiev’s embattled leader backtracked on a previously agreed Mineral Deal, we heard Trump warn that ‘he was going to have big, big problems’.
And it seems that it’s already started, as reports arise that he has passed on a $50 billion deal with Kiev – funded with EU money.
Among many other priorities, Ukraine urgently needs new air defense systems.
BILD reported (translated from the German):
“Since only [in the US] the Patriot missiles are manufactured and the president has already made it clear before taking office that he no longer wants to provide Ukraine with free aid deliveries, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has now grasped at the last straw.
With financial resources from the EU and frozen Russian assets, he wanted to buy hundreds of Patriot missiles from the USA for a lot of money – unit price 5.5 million euros.
A total of 50 billion dollars (44 billion euros) is available for this, he said three days ago. ‘Give us the package, which includes both air defense and other corresponding instruments, we will pay for it’, Zelensky told Ukrainian media.”
Trump’s reaction was only shocking to those who are not paying close attention.
Trump has absolutely had it with Zelensky.
When asked about sending more Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, Trump says “you don’t start a war against someone 20 times your size, and then hope that people give you some missiles”.

“You know, he always wants to buy missiles. But you see, when you start a war, you should know that you can win that war. You can’t start a war against an opponent 20 times bigger and then hope that someone will give you missiles.”
While publicly Trump is distancing himself from all parties in the war (including the US warmongers), it is increasingly apparent that the focus of his administration is the normalization of diplomatic relations with Russia, and the development of strategic and economic partnerships with it.
