Canada and China sign important new trade agreements


I am shocked to the core, really I am.  But I love such shocks.
Harper thumping his nose at the USA and signing a renminbi trade agreement with China which puts the US $ in the doghouse?!!!!  Wonder of wonders from the USA lover.

"It's something the prime minister has been talking about. He wants Canadian companies, particularly small- and medium-sized businesses, doing more and more work in China, selling goods and services there," said CBC's Catherine Cullen, reporting from Beijing............

.........It’s happening. With increasing speed and frequency.

The People’s Bank of China and the Canadian Prime Minister’s office issued a statement on Saturday stating that Canada will establish North America’s first offshore renminbi trading center in Toronto.

China and Canada agreed on a number of measures to increase the use of renminbi in trade, business, and investment. And they further signed a 200-billion renminbi bilateral currency swap agreement.............
