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.

    Mexico and Canada are our biggest trade partners, each alone outstrips China. We do not have the momentum to ride this out. Despite our monster economy, it doesn’t take much wobble to fuck it all up.

    Anyway, I sincerely hope this crashes America, hard and fast. I want Trump voters and sit-outs punished. I want shit to hit the fan so hard every conservative voter and Republican leader gets soaked. I want the end of the GOP, whatever I have to suffer.
