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 Trump’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.

    I realize it’s just one of your examples but… Denmark is an EU member right? Wouldn’t tariffs on them be responded to by the EU?
