A second Canadian company has had its licence to sell canola to China revoked as a crackdown continues on one of the most Canadian crops in the world. Last week, the Canola Council of Canada announced orders from China had mysteriously dried up across a number of canola sellers. "We can confirm that China has expanded its ban on Canadian canola imports to include shipments from Viterra," a spokesperson for the company told CBC News. Speaking to reporters in Winnipeg on Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal government is taking the situation "very seriously." Canada exports more canola than anyone else in the world.
