Core Points - The Premier of Manitoba, Kelvin Goertzen, has requested the Canadian federal government to eliminate the 100% tariff on electric vehicles imported from China, citing significant negative impacts on bilateral trade and the western regions of Canada [1][3]. - The trade tensions have led to a substantial decline in Canadian canola prices and have severely affected the pork production industry, with Saskatchewan's canola exports to China dropping by 76% year-on-year in August [3][5]. - The Chinese Ambassador to Canada, Wang Di, indicated that China would reciprocate by removing tariffs on Canadian products if Canada cancels the tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, suggesting a potential path to ease trade relations [5][7]. Industry Impact - The imposition of a 100% additional tax on all electric vehicles imported from China since October 1 of the previous year has strained bilateral trade relations, affecting multiple provinces and severely damaging agricultural exports [5]. - There is a growing internal demand within Canada to lift the tariffs in order to alleviate the challenges faced by various industries, particularly in agriculture [7].
