Canola Rebound

[Marusko]

I'm not thinking we're quite back to normal but it is nice to see it come back. All that btching and moaning here and on the combine forum, yet here we are. That canola crash in March was an emotional reaction, not a fundamental one in my opinion. China plays games and has for a while, we should know by now that we just have to be patient and not let them manipulate our emotions with fear to sell cheap canola. Like in westernvicki's thread, lock the bins for 15. subsidies would go straight into jacking up land rents and prices.

It seems to be happening in more vote fertile industries?

In my opinion, government support should not happen in any industry.

I've been made aware that there is quite a Ukraine and Australian to Canadian price "gap" that needs to be filled. If the US and China wasn't playing whack-a-mole every time Canadian canola tried to poke it's head up maybe we'd be getting world prices. The futures market has some work to do, but heaven forbid Canadian growers get cocky.
Politics has taken its toll...

We may not be out of the woods yet. Bipolar Trump and Carney stating that """"Asian Trading Partners that Share Canadian Values 'DON'T INCLUDE CHINA'."""" Yup, poke the dragon some more.
They're apparently still looking into anti-dumping.... jeez.

I may be wrong but.
If we don't kiss a little Chinese arse now, we'll be sucking a whole lot of something else later.

Maybe a Canadian delegation minus anyone from the governing Liberals needs to go on a trade mission to China.

Maybe they are a trusted trade partner.

China is leaping ahead of the rest of the world in technology and is poised to be the next power.

Trust is a fluid concept.
Looking at the Myanmar relief efforts tells me where the good will capital has gone. Marshall Plan and Truman Doctrine officially history.
Thing is, TR's "Big Stick" is a lot smaller now.

What is TR?

Speak softly and carry a big stick.
