Sask. premier vows to travel to China in attempt to end canola tariffs

WATCH: Sask. Premier Scott Moe says he intends to accompany federal officials on a trip to China, hoping to end the country's canola tariffs. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe says he intends to travel to the People's Republic of China – with the mission of helping the federal government negotiate an end to the tariffs against Canadian canola. 'We're going to go to China. We're hopeful that the federal government will have representation alongside of us, and we're hopeful that we'll be able to support them and putting an end to some of these trade tariffs that we see,' he told reporters Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT Moe will meet with officials from Ottawa and canola industry leaders in Saskatoon on Thursday. Those in attendance will include the federal agriculture minister and parliamentary secretary for the prime minister. Moe says that he has opened discussions with the federal government about the trip. He went on to say he believes Saskatchewan is in a unique position to assist negotiations – given its trade office in China has been operating for a decade. 'Saskatchewan is the obvious advocate and the obvious province to support the federal government in starting these discussions on how we can have a more free and open access to the Chinese market for the canola products, yes. But also peas, as well as seafood and pork,' he explained. 'It needs to start somewhere, and we're suggesting it starts on the ground in China with our federal government. We're there to support them every step of the way.' China upped its levies against Canadian canola to nearly 76 per cent late last week. The latest increase is temporary, with a final decision on the tariffs expected next month as an anti-dumping probe into Canadian canola wraps up. China's Ministry of Commerce claims the probe has found Canada's agriculture industry has benefited from substantial government subsidies and preferential policies. China initially imposed tariffs on canola following Canada's decision to tariff Chinese-produced electric vehicles. The premier was in Yorkton to announce plans to improve Grain Millers Road — a vital roadway that serves as the access for several grain handling facilities, including Richardson Oilseed — which is described as the largest canola crush plant in North America. The premier described the announcement as a 'vote of confidence' in the industry as Chinese tariffs drive down prices and cause concern for producers across the country. 'What we're here to do today is to provide a vote of confidence more broadly, not just for the canola crush industry or the community and region around Yorkton, but more broadly for the ag community as a whole,' he said. 'We have a $45 billion canola industry, employing over 200,000 Canadians, some of them right here at this plant, and many of them right here in this community. That's an important industry to Canadians.'

P.E.I. man under terrorism peace bond after RCMP finds 3D-printed firearms

An RCMP patch is seen on the shoulder of Assistant Commissioner Brian Edwards, Officer in Charge of the Surrey RCMP, during a news conference about the city's municipal police force transition, in Surrey, B.C., on Friday, April 28, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck A Prince Edward Island man is under a terrorism peace bond after the RCMP found 3D-printed firearms at his home in North Rustico. The court order is used when police believe someone is likely to commit a terrorism offence, even if there are no reasonable grounds to believe one has already occurred. It was granted Aug. 18 after police began the process earlier this year. ADVERTISEMENT In February, Queen's District RCMP responded to information that 50-year-old Daniel Desmond Crowder was making threats online. He was arrested at his home, where police executed a search warrant and seized several weapons and 3D-printed firearm parts. He was released in July under strict conditions. Crowder now faces eight charges, including uttering threats, as well as manufacturing and possessing prohibited weapons. 'The facts surrounding those charges are for the court to hear,' said Cpl. Gavin Moore, a media relations officer with the P.E.I. RCMP. 'But what I can say is that, given some of the content of what Mr. Crowder spoke about online, there is not a specific target.' Moore said the case is unusual for the province. It's the first-time charges have been laid in P.E.I. related to the manufacturing of firearms, and only the second time in at least 15 years that a terrorism peace bond has been granted. Crowder will appear in front of the province's Supreme Court on Sept. 9. P.E.I. Provincial Crown prosecutor John Diamond is handling the case. Terrorism peace bonds in Canada Back in December, a minor in Newmarket, Ont., was placed under a terrorism peace bond after the RCMP feared they could commit a terrorist offence. Details in that case are protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. In June 2024, a Saskatchewan youth was also made subject to a terrorism peace bond following an investigation by the RCMP Federal Policing Northwest Region's National Security Enforcement Section (NSES.)
