Talking Turbines

Our communities have been engaged in debate and discourse over the issue of industrial wind turbines for over 3 years. People in our communities have very passionate views and this issue has put a serious strain on our small rural communities. I knew that when I announced I was vying for the Ontario Liberal candidacy in Perth Wellington I would hear the question, ‘where do you stand on wind turbines’.

The Wheat Growers Association is welcoming China’s final ruling to sharply lower the anti-dumping tariff on Canadian canola seed to 5.9 percent, plus the standard 9 percent import duty, alongside the suspension of 100 percent tariffs on canola meal effective March 1.

Restoring more predictable access to China provides needed relief on prices and cash flow at a critical time.” While today’s announcement is encouraging, the Wheat Growers caution that past disruptions underscore the importance of long-term market stability. “China has restricted or closed its canola market several ti
