B.C. Premier Eby vows strong Canadian response to U.S. tariff proposal

British Columbia Premier David Eby stated that Canada will negotiate firmly against U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico. Eby emphasized the need for unity among Canadian leaders. Eby will meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and other premiers this week to discuss strategies regarding the tariff, which Trump plans to implement after his inauguration on January 20. Eby noted that the tariff could harm workers and families on both sides of the border. He also acknowledged the need for improvements in border security to address issues related to contraband and illegal drugs.
