B.C. premier emphasizes unity as Canada prepares to negotiate U.S. tariff plans

British Columbia Premier David Eby stated that Canada will negotiate from a "position of strength" 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 as they prepare to meet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week to discuss strategies regarding the tariff, which Trump plans to implement after his inauguration on January 20. Eby warned 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.
