Premiers call for improved relationship with China during trade war with the U.S.
By Canadian Press on July 23, 2025.
Canada’s premiers are calling on the federal government to improve the country’s relationship with China, make changes to the bail system and spend more money on health care.
They are meeting for the third and final day of their gathering in Huntsville, Ont.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe and Ontario Premier Doug Ford say the country will need to deal more with China given the challenges of the ongoing trade war with the United States.
The premiers say in a statement they’d like the federal government to prioritize work toward the removal of Chinese tariffs on Canadian canola, peas, pork and seafood.
The premiers met with Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday to discuss the trade war with U.S. President Donald Trump after meeting with First Nation leaders the previous day.
The prime minister and the premiers presented a united front in the face of U.S. tariffs, but revealed little about the negotiations with an Aug. 1 deadline in trade talks fast approaching.
The prime minister and the premiers all downplayed the importance of getting a deal done soon to avoid further U.S. tariffs, saying they want the best deal possible regardless of timing.
A number of provinces also signed several free trade deals to open up internal trade while others committed to building pipelines to get oil and gas to new markets.
The premiers are set to hold a closing press conference this afternoon.

Are you nuts? China is the biggest threat to Canada, not the US! China is moving towards world domination and we are helping to fund their aspirations, by purchasing products from them. We are helping them fund their military buildup to take over the world! You are selling out our country literally by trading with them!
China has thousands of spies in our country, and those who tried to escape communist rule and came to Canada sometimes face threats by their Chinese police who have some police stations in Canada on our soil along with the espionage, think what you are doing by trading with them.
China has one of the worst human rights track records in the world and is poisoning our country with opioids/fentanyl which is directly connected to the money laundering and other illegal activities.
We should be focusing on other countries and trying to protect what trade we can with the US, because Trump is only going to be in office for another 3.5 years, whereas China will continue to be there, committing acts of espionage, stealing industrial, scientific and military research and information, while preparing for the eventual take over of our country. They have already infiltrated many parts Canada. Say what? Okay, you don’t believe this? Think about all the incidents in the past few years and then magnify the problem and you will come close, and watch this video from one investigative reporter.

Increasing trade with China is a very big mistake! We should be reducing trade with Canada!
