China ban canola shipments from Canada, 43000 farmers out of business

Al Mussell, research lead of Agri-Food Economic Systems, discusses China's decision to revoke Viterra's license to sell canola and why lower crop prices could be likely for Canadian farmers.

READ SOME COMMENTS ABOUT THE ISSUE

Henry L What was Trudeau thinking? Expecting China to send you a thank-you note after you kidnapped Huawei’s CFO?

Joseph Marton Canada's prime minister is focused on gay rights, female rights, all legal free marijuana, and genderless birth certificate. Canadians do not care for employment, savings, business or export. Get high, collect employment insurance and watch NHL hockey eh ?!

Stanley Marzec I am just waiting patiently for the new Huawei P 30, must have it. Canola? who needs it? I never ate that cheap unhealthy GMO canola ever in my life. If Chinese use for rocket fuel it may be ok.

D Tango FFS let Meng go. We are not a colony of America, if they want her, let them get her themselves. Drop the are arbitrary treaty with the Yanks down south, let Meng go, let our farmers sell to China. Ffs

Susan Auger Every sector is in disarray with Justin. He's turning Canada into a 3rd world country

can tho China is making a statement here.....listen up Canadian!! It’s NOT about your canola!!

JC Saucedo, I didn't know about Huawei phones but I want one now

Stephen Young We in Malaysia & Indonesia has tonnes & tonnes of palm oil for China. Not to worry. Canadian farmers should start planting soybeans instead. Follow their boss.

khatun 777 Canola is pure poison and should NEVER BE INGESTED!

Lulu Berry China should STOP buying GMO product, period.

Sean Pan To stop things from getting worse, Trudeau needs to release Huawei's CFO. It should be obvious for every Canadians.

tfylhk Keyword is Meng Wanzhou when you can face the fact?

Peter Canada, you just turn China into an enemy. The relation will not be the same again. It will take like 100+ years to normalize again. Meanwhile, take your canola and get lost.

Backed by Gold China should ban all produce from Canada and stop every transaction with Canada like what Saudi Arabia did. Historically it has been proven that all Anglo Saxon countries’ politicians just cannot be trusted.

Kwokman Lam China announced they will grow their own canola this year meanwhile in order to fill the gap, they will import from Pakistan, India, and Russia replacing Canada! Game over for all Canadian grains exporting to the Chinese market.

George Lai No talk and waste time. Just 1 move release Huawei,s CFO. Everything will be solved and back to normal automatically

Sm Chan Mr.Trudeau, if he is not dumb, should now know how the Chinese felt when his government followed what his US master told him to do the dirty job to kidnap Madam Meng.

Henry Woon Is stupid for Canada government to get involved and arrested MENG. Instead of a friend, they are making an enemy.

YI CUI Seems Canadian government hasn't realized that Huawei is not just A company， it's THE COMPANY， for China.

Sunny Looi Chin Sun Canada it's too late now even miss meng is released, relationships with China will not be normal anymore. Canada you really asked for it.

Danielle Smith China suspending Canadian canola

William C Looks like Canada shot herself in the footwork for the Trump administration hawks

Stanley Marzec Please note. It was not arrested, it was kidnapping. It is a big difference when it comes to the rule of law.

Happy Marsh How do you know those canola oil has no problem? is it because Canada is a country of "rule of law"? LOL!

David Duchesne Very simple China hates little potatoes boy.

Moz Art! Canadian are so fool people, they are lost canola and Huawei 500 million us dollars projected

Canada-China dispute creates

What Canada export to China In a nutshell, commodities and natural resources.

"Mineral products" made up $4 billion — or 25 percent — of Canadian exports to China in 2011.

The major items include nickel, copper and in recent years potash, which is used in the manufacture of fertilizer.

China is also a major buyer of our wood and paper products, which accounted for $1.4 billion in 2011, as well as fish products and oilseeds like canola.

The Globe and mail Since the arrest of Huawei’s chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou on Dec. 1, the Chinese government has not responded to requests to speak with Canadian federal ministers. Some five different ministers have made such requests.

Meng Wanzhou is not just another pretty face

The Huawei executive’s arrest at Vancouver International Airport on Dec. 1 was their first glimpse of the woman now at the center of a bitter diplomatic dispute between Canada and China.
Meng comes from a powerhouse family in China, one that holds significant influence in both the political and business world.

Canadian Robert Schellenberg has been sentenced in China for drug trafficking.
The low in China for drugs trafficking is the death penalty.

A B.C. judge told Robert Lloyd Schellenberg he was lucky to be living in Canada when he sent him to jail for drug trafficking in 2012 for possession of both cocaine and heroin as well as possession of cannabis resin and methamphetamine.
His criminal record dates back to February 2003, when he received a six-month sentence for possession for the purpose of trafficking.

The ruling came after a sudden retrial of a 15-year sentence for allegedly conspiring with others to smuggle 222 kilograms of methamphetamine from China to Australia in 2014.

Yu Zihao LOL, he trafficked 220 meths what do u expect.

daokedao123 China saved damn lots of Australian families by catching him together with the 220kg drugs

Elsa Tadesse It was 2014? Oh, they know how to lie. China is not like America who continues to lie. God bless you China

Bugatti Boss Canada is trying to defend a Drug dealer who was found guilty of smuggling 220 KG of METH! haha, How many people would have suffered from that much Meth?! He deserves what he gets!

Australian police seize 200 kilograms of methamphetamine with a street value of $200m discovered at Melbourne Dock in tires of a truck arrived from China.

Virus Sirus Yea DW China should let him go with 220 Kg of drugs back to Canada

john wing kay Ip Young Canada prime minister is a digger nothing about international political

John Koh The ball is on Trudeau's foot. Only he can dissolve the crisis which he creates.

Sim W Because 15yr sentence was too harsh so he's been reduced to the death sentence

Chinese Ambassador to Canada Lu Shaye:

“For clear reasons, the current China-Canada relations are facing serious difficulties.”

OTTAWA — China’s ambassador to Canada says the bilateral relationship is now at “rock bottom” compared to any time since diplomatic ties were first established decades ago.

In the prepared text for a speech Thursday, Lu Shaye said he’s saddened Canada-China relations are at what he called a “freezing point.”
Lu’s remarks come at a time of heightened tensions following the December arrest of Chinese telecom executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver on an extradition request by the United States.
The Huawei executive’s arrest has enraged China, which has since detained two Canadians on allegations of endangering Chinese national security, sentenced two Canadians to death for drug-related convictions and blocked key agricultural shipments.

Lu did not mention Meng’s arrest — but he said the China-Canada relationship is now facing serious difficulties.

CHINA-CANADA TENSIONS ARE NO PASSING STORM: By Charles Burton, May 1, 2019

So the federal government politely urging Beijing to grant visas to our agricultural specialists to show the Chinese that our canola seeds are not contaminated as they falsely claim, or seeking mildly supportive press releases from Australia, the Netherlands, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Spain, Denmark — and even from more significant actors such as the European Union, NATO, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and, oh yes, the United States — is evidently not going to get us anywhere.

Please remove the word falsely from your article, you are not a food expert.

Please post the communications letter of the federal government to qualified the word ( politely )

Mr. Charles Burton, please read the following article

BY HEATHER SCOFFIELD UPDATED MARCH 23, 2018

The federal government unwittingly allowed the sale of genetically modified canola seeds in 1997 that were "seriously contaminated," according to government documents that have only now come to light.

The following is a small section of the article

SEEDS OF CONTENTION

The life of the contaminated canola seed:

April 14, 1997 - Monsanto Canada tells the federal government that it has detected something wrong in canola seed LG3315, a seed genetically modified to be resistant to Monsanto's herbicide, Roundup.
April 16 - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency suspends the registration of LG3315. Monsanto and seed company Limagrain being the recall of 20,000 bags of seed.
April 25 - Registration is suspended for a second genetically modified canola seed, LG3295. Companies begin recalling 40,000 more bags of seed.
Deadline for withdrawal is set for May 15. End of May - Seed withdrawal ends after companies plow under a farmer's field and collect 60,000 bags of seed.
July - Companies ask to revise the disposal plan to allow more time.
July 23 - Documents show companies were unable to persuade one farmer to allow his contaminated crop to be plowed under.
August - Canadian Food Inspection Agency allows companies more time for and approves revised disposal plan.
September - Government, and companies argue about how best to dispose of seed.
Government prevails. October, November - Seed is buried in secret landfill sites in Western Canada. Nov. 7 - Limagrain says it has cleaned up its LG3295 seed and asks for registration to be reinstated. Jan. 14, 1998 - Government reinstates the registration of LG3295, saying it is now safe.
May 1999 - Companies request de-registration of LG3295 because they have created new seeds with better yield.

Richard Wolff responds to Trump's Huawei ban

Eric Harman Thank you for the video today Mr. Wolff. I always appreciate your input.

vocalbc This is a man of immense wisdom. You earned my respect.

Henry David Thoreau United States has done this before to French Company Alstom around 2013. They capture their executive (sounds familiar?) and then force the Alstom to sell their assets to the American Company GE, which was their direct competitor.

PK Wong Truth in a nutshell by Prof Richard Wolf. Well done. Huawei will overcome and so will China.

장소정 This incident is not only a lesson for China but also a warning for other countries. The mandatory technical monopoly of the United States is a very bad thing for people all over the world.

sauhaun Ur so right, I have this urgent urge to switch away from all American products for the last few weeks

John Choy If Huawei down, everyone should know dealing business with American companies may one day in the future get into big trouble! Thanks, Professor Wolff!

Ed Applederry Shooting himself in the foot is Trump's specialty.

Tim Basset Thank you, Richard, yes he is an idiot , narcissist of the worst kind, as you have pointed out damage for the future, interestingly CHINA has sent this novice the damage they can do , my prediction in a matter of not too many days this fool will back down, thinking he has won . Footnote he is the product of a rotten/ corrupt system, America’s days are very much numbered

Richard aurre Can't wait for USD to lose it status as the worlds reserve currency, that should bring down the Empire.

Julie Wilson Trumpty Dumpty is not only dangerous to America, but he's also dangerous to the entire world!!! He's the devil's advocate!!!

Artist1974CH Richard, I agree with you! With all this banning of Huawei, even having war with Iran, and so on, will backfire on the USA. I really do believe the collapse of the American Empire is getting closer.

NathansHVAC The angrier you get Mr. Wolff, the more I know Trump is helping America.

OTTO Profound words professor Wolff. Please continue to educate us so we can someday all awaken from our slumber. Many thanks, Sir.

Allielump As Canadian shoppers everyone I know goes out of their way at the stores to NOT buy American anything.....esp dairy

Derick zhou As an American, I feel shame and lost the future. I can’t agree more with Mr. Wolff.
