CALGARY — Canola farmers on the Prairies are bracing for impact as China prepares to impose hefty tariffs on the industry.
China is expected to enact a 100 per cent levy on Canadian canola oil and meal starting Thursday.
The tariffs are a response to Canada’s 100 per cent tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles and 25 per cent tax on aluminum and steel products.
In response, governments in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba want action from Ottawa to support farmers.
