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’m no expert, but wouldn’t the tariff apply to the targeted good no matter which state it’s finished in?
That’s what it looks like after reading the article. Moving to a different state won’t change anything.
