Is it worth growing canola? ???

Trudeau has handled the SNC case badly.

But what would have been the right way to handle the Huawei case without interfering in a criminal case for extradition?

Do you want Andrew Scheer to let her go and what impact would that have on US relations?

The reality is China is in a trade war with the US and we are collateral damage. Australia has pissed them off as well.

Trudeau had 5 ****ing days to make sure she wasn't arrested in Canada ....could have had the plane land in the States and let them deal with it.....

You send her to the states and let them deal with it....

I do agree we would have been collateral damage anyway but Trudeau didn't help with his nonsense...

He can't keep blaming Harper ....can he????

.....so the retailer's cost is going up? What $15 a bag, so they can't sell at a loss?.....that is too ****en funny! $15 on a $650 bag in 2.3%, I seriously doubt their margins are that tight! And if they are prove it to me and I will sympathize!

What I hate most is being treated like a fool.

Their was a Guy on one of those panels yesterday that said they knew she traveled to Canada regularly.

He says they could have contacted her and said we didn't want to get involved and don't come here.

This is JWR problem.

I doubt Mr. Trudeau knows trade problems effect ag.

Maybe his new ag minister can get a meet with him.

Hopefully Bunge etc, have some pull.

Oz is having the same issues with Coal. Slow boat unloads and shipments. Probably due to a Huawei ban.

China is sending a message. We all don't have the cards to play that Trump does.

He hasn't cashed in yet either.

John Manley said exactly this right up until the big red machine got his muzzle back on. He went so far as to say it was stupid not to do it this way and a sign of inept management by the PMO.

Of course they can keep blaming Harper although it is noteworthy that last night when sock boy was avoiding mentioning LavScam at a glowbull warming rally he did NOT mention Harper either. The constant heckling at the above rally was reassuring. Maybe there really is hope for October.

Manley vs Mackay for the top job....

I think you would see shit get done in Canada....either way....

Two subjects in one thread but are related.

This was a no win situation for Canada. Whether you apprehend her on Canadian soil or divert the plane and have US authorities apprehend her it will look like we had a part in it. Diverting the plane affects many other passengers...in a big way, unfair to them.

To me it seems we did the US's dirty work and will pay the price while they use her as a pawn in trade negotiations. Was it necessary for us to comply(internationally) or let well enough alone and maintain what diplomatic relations we had left after our government confronted China about their own domestic policies?

In this environment, an extremely vulnerable govt, it would be a dandy time to point out Trump handed out $ to his farmers hit by the tariff war

Grumblings not much was paid out, any American wheat soy and corn farmers on this site that can verify?

I would say a dollar(+) per bushel was shaved off canola prices and 50(+) off spring wheat values.

Give her back to the Chinese and restore our diplomatic relations. But then watch the US unleash its fury on us.

This is a no win situation

Any reasonable solutions?

I would also think it would be a good time to put the pressure on the drama teacher to drop the carbon tax on provinces opposed.
The scary thing is Boy Blunder might doesn’t actually comprehend the magnitude of the hole he’s in and will double down supporting his looney causes.
