Description

With looming tariffs, canola farmer Margaret Rigetti says she feels like she’s “being used as a pawn” in a trade war between Canada and her two biggest customers: China and the U.S. She says the federal government needs to do more to support her industry, instead of treating farmers like “collateral damage” in the push to protect sectors like steel and electric vehicles.
