The CBSA’s provisional duties, set in March, ranged from 9 per cent to 286 per cent, depending on the specific Chinese manufacturer. The final tariff levels have not yet been revealed.

The CBSA was responsible for deciding whether subsidization and dumping actually took place, while the CITT looked at whether there was damage to Canadian manufacturers.

The Canadian solar industry has been divided about the imposition of import duties. The panel manufacturers that complained about dumping are happy that action has been taken to protect them, but some industry participants say that import duties will boost the price of solar products and depress demand. That could dent enthusiasm for solar power and slow the shift to renewable energy in Canada.

UNQUOTE Globe and Mail from last July

Just because another country can out compete with cheaper costs???? Maybe that equals hypocrisy and is reason Trump type logic resonates so well with self interests apparently so easily sold to an electorate.

It seems that there is conflicting evidence about China's commitment to "green energy".

Is this story about the 70 workers killed in a scaffolding collapse or is it about the last paragraphs stating that China is going full steam (if you'll pardon the pun) ahead with building coal-fired plants, and in the long term?
