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.
