Yes. Canola producers are under significant strain. They blame LPC because they are told to by Rebel, UCP & CPC.

If they took a couple hours to research it, they’d find Harper signed a FIPA with China. One of the restrictions FIPA imposes is loss of sovereignty to CCP whims.
China wants cheap oil sands & ownership of Canadian oil industry & associated infrastructure. Trudeau bought a pipeline. Denying them control of TMX. Preventing China & Chinese private corps to take Canada to international tribunal to force the pipeline built on their terms.
Meaning, LPC owns the pipeline which allows Canada to keep decisions about the pipeline within the Canadian court system. Allowing FN to have their day in court. Otherwise, China would abolish treaties because it stands in the way of their profits.
I believe they were kind of pissed off about that. Imposed sanctions on Canola & pork. Severely straining farmers in primarily western Canada. Trump and his administration drummed up some creative charges against Meng Wanzhou.
You didn’t think holding two Canadians as political hostages and the economic sanctions were purely a response to Meng’s extradition? They aren’t.

A convenient excuse. They are meant to force Trudeau to sell TMX and/or build it ASAP.
Now there is talk of handing TMX over to indigenous investor groups.

I would bet my last dollar LPC creates an airtight contract that forbids any sale to foreign ownership for at least 25-30 years.
Giving Canada enough time to develop the infrastructure to replace O&G yet still making Indigenous investors the primary benefactors of natural resource profits from the pipeline.

Allowing FIPA to naturally expire. Maintaining Canadian sovereignty over natural energy resources.
Smart cookie that Trudeau. Outwitted CCP, their complicit partners and preserved Canadian sovereignty in energy natural resources.

However, Canola farmers & pork producers suffered some financial pain.

This was the CPC plan. Sell Canada piece by piece and remove sovereignty.
Thank god we have an LPC govt.

Otherwise we wouldn’t have any sovereignty. Or national security. And likely a hefty bill to pay to China to replace the profits China calculated they lost by waiting for the pipeline to be built.
Crafty buggers those cons.
