China announces 75.8 per cent tariffs on Canadian canola
OTTAWA — China announced a 75.8 per cent preliminary tariff on Canadian canola on Tuesday, following an anti-dumping investigation launched last year in response to Canada's tax on Chinese electric vehicles. Article content China's Ministry of Commerce published the details of the plan on Tuesday, claiming the 'dumping' of Canadian canola into the Chinese market is hurting its domestic canola oil market. Article content Article content The Canola Council of Canada says 'anti-dumping investigations are initiated when a country suspects a product is being imported at a lower price than it is sold for in the domestic country in which it is produced. Article content Article content 'The two sides had in-depth and frank exchanges on bilateral economic and trade relations and key economic and trade concerns of both sides, and exchanged views on deepening bilateral, regional, and multilateral economic and trade co-operation,' the post read. Article content The Prime Minister's Office deferred comment on the canola tariffs to the minister of international trade, who did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Article content Article content Canada imposed a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in October 2024, a move that is to be reviewed within one year. Article content Article content Canada supplies China with most of its canola but China currently exports very few electric vehicles to Canada. Article content When Canada levied tariffs on Chinese EVs last year — which are significantly less expensive than North American-made EVs, in part because of lower labour and environmental standards and state subsidies — it justified the move as protecting 'the transformation and planned investments in Canada's vehicle sector.' Article content 'Actors like China have chosen to give themselves an unfair advantage in the global marketplace, compromising the security of our critical industries and displacing dedicated Canadian auto and metal workers. So, we're taking action to address that,' then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at the time. Article content The Chinese EV tariff also matched a similar move made by then U.S. president Joe Biden. Article content But with EV sales slumping in Canada following the abrupt ending of the government's popular Incentive for Zero-Emission Vehicle program, which provided up to $5,000 toward the cost of a new EV, environmental groups have called on Canada to revisit the Chinese EV tariff to help drive competition in the Canadian market.

‘Increased' Canadian military activity expected on Hwy. 401, QEW for training exercise
Canadian Armed Forces vehicles are seen in this undated image. (DND/CAF 2025) Drivers in Toronto and across Ontario will see 'increased' military activity on major highways in the area over the next two weekends as the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) gear up for a training exercise. In a news release, the CAF said 1,500 Canadian Army Reservists will take part in Exercise Stalwart Guardian, described as a 'major' end-of-summer training event featuring simulation combat operations, at Garrison Petawawa, northwest of Ottawa. As such, transport and supply convoys will hit the roads between Toronto, Peterborough, Sudbury, Ottawa, Petawawa and the surrounding areas on Aug. 15 and 16. 'Members of the public may see increased military traffic with Canadian Army vehicles operating on various area roads including Ontario Highways 7, 17, 26, 41, 55, 115, 401, 403, 407, 417 and the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW),' the CAF said. The troops and their equipment will travel in Department of National Defence vehicles and chartered buses. The convoys will make planned, short stops along the routes for rest, fuel, and scheduled maintenance. Soldiers will not be carrying weapons or ammunition while making public stops, the CAF noted. However, members of the public are asked to take 'extra caution' when approaching military vehicles. Similar military traffic is expected to return to the aforementioned routes on Aug. 23 and 24 following the conclusion of the exercise. The CAF said 'all measures' are being taken to minimize inconvenience on the highways during the exercise dates.
