Premier David Eby said Wednesday (Jan. 15) that all provinces need to do their part when it comes to absorbing and responding to U.S. tariffs that could come as early as Jan. 20 when Donald Trump becomes president of the United States again.
"If there are tariffs that are impacting B.C., then they need to be similarly impacting other provinces across the country," he said, following a meeting with his provincial and territorial colleagues as well as Prime Minister Justin ̨ÍåMMÂãÁÄÊÒ.
"We can't be turning to B.C. and Alberta to carry all of the weight of the retaliation against the United States. It's a shared responsibility. This is economic wartime and when we are in that situation as Canadians, we all pitch in to protect our people, to protect our jobs here in Canada and protect our country."
More to come.
