> Canada's trade truce with China has cut Chinese tariffs on canola seed to about 15% from as high as 84%, effective March 1. The exemptions on canola meal, lobster, crab and peas are guaranteed only through the end of 2026, while canola oil remains at a 100% Chinese tariff. The article ties the earlier escalation to Canada's 100% surtax on Chinese EVs.
