B.C. premier announces countermeasures against U.S. tariffs, including ban on 'red-state' liquor (www.cbc.ca)
 
 

Summary

B.C. Premier David Eby announced countermeasures against new U.S. tariffs, including banning liquor from Republican-led states and prioritizing Canadian goods in government procurement.

The move follows Trumpโ€™s order imposing 25% tariffs on most Canadian imports. The tariffs could cost B.C. $69 billion if maintained through 2028, particularly harming its forestry sector.

To reduce reliance on U.S. trade, B.C. will fast-track $20 billion in private-sector projects and expand international trade.

Eby also criticized Trump's fentanyl-related justification for the tariffs.

U.S. President Donald Trump will impose 25% tariff on most Canadian imports beginning Tuesday

B.C. Premier David Eby has announced immediate countermeasures in response to incoming U.S. tariffs, saying the province will take action to protect B.C. workers and businesses.

. . .

As an initial response, Eby said he has directed the B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch to immediately stop purchasing American liquor from Republican-led "red states" and remove the top-selling brands from public liquor store shelves.

He also directed the B.C. government and Crown corporations to prioritize Canadian goods and services in procurement decisions.

"The Americans are bigger, but if we don't stand up for ourselves, they will just keep coming back for more," he said.
