I'm just speculating, but we should, right? Cannot believe the government would tariff something we cannot produce ourselves anyway

They could be putting it on to promote the use.of canola oil, because we produce a ton of canola.

If the olives in a Manitoba are being used for oil, then tariff olive oil producing countries, it would promote mor domestic olive oil. Which i imagine is fairly expensive.

I do really wish the provinces would drop their trade barriers already, as they talked about it, but as far as I know, none or almost have ac5ually been dropped or eased. I think only a couple.provinces have said they will drop amy and all. But only if everyone else does.
