Instead of taking an “Indian Family Vacationâ€, the PM should be pounding the table on restoring trade with our pulses. Canada has a huge presence in India pulses, they need Canada...but not lately because they have a good crop and our prices got too high for the cheepies. The signs were there...fooling around with fumigation etc....as usual we Canadian’s slept through it thinking they were our good friends. They will be back, their rains will fail, their farmers won’t produce enough, but in the meantime we loose out waiting on the sidelines. How about a measured response of equal punitive tariffs on Indian imported goods? Make some money from them, let them feel some of the same pain. Never heard a peep about that....but then again where is the leadership? Not even from our Super Rich Pulse Board!

There isn't enough value from India to hurt them.
30 million people in Canada versus their own domestic 1.5 billion?
I agree with the principal but the prime minister of India doesn't think much of Trudeau obviously.
And trudeau really doesn't give a shit about western canada.

Originally posted by Crestliner View PostAhem.....Canada imports about $2 Billion in goods from India....we export $2.1 Billion (2009 Stats)....I think the impact will be huge. At least we make money off them and get their attention rather than going to our corner and sulking while we wait it out.
LOL
you realize we're not the only pulse exporter anymore....
Do that and we will loose India forever.
Canada can't keep meddling in other countries internal affairs.
No we're starting it up with Israel

He needed a vacation to help heal his hurt feelings at all the recent town halls.
Maybe get lucky and he'll drink the water while over there and get some incurable brain cancer - although there isn't much there to destroy.

If India wants to buy.....Canada will always be on their list. We are the leader in sales to India for one reason, PRICE...and we are usually low cost suppliers. It’s only when we are done being taken advantage of by them do they go to the next low cost supplier.
A tarriff will send the message that we are serious about protecting our industries just like they are about protecting their farmers.
When their domestic issues sort themselves out and they will be back and we can get going on business.
Saying sorry to someone who steps on your toes is not a strategy.
