Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe plans to travel to China to push for an end to steep canola tariffs, urging Ottawa’s support. China hiked duties to 76% after Canada imposed EV tariffs, leaving farmers worried as final tariff decisions loom next month. Saskatchewan, which produces over half of Canada’s canola, says the $45B industry is too vital to risk.
