Eby invokes Canadian kindness after 9/11 in support of Ottawa's retaliatory tariffs
Eby said the tariffs will hurt workers and businesses, while Ottawa’s countermeasures include up to 50% duties on some U.S. goods.
- On Tuesday, Canada's retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion in American goods took effect, responding to U.S. President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian products imposed in late August.
- British Columbia Premier David Eby publicly backed Ottawa's response, implementing a ban on American alcohol in provincial liquor stores and unveiling border signs declaring the province 'will never be the 51st state.'
- Eby warned that the trade war will cause job losses and business closures, while provincial finances face strain with a projected record-setting $13.3 billion deficit for the 2026-2027 fiscal year.
- Invoking the 'horrific' Sept. 11 attacks, Eby stated that Canadians supported their 'closest friend' historically but would not tolerate Trump's 'insults, unfair tariffs' and threats to independence.
- With no further trade talks scheduled, Eby aims to reduce reliance on the United States by pivoting toward strengthening domestic and global trade connections, describing the situation as a 'new ball game.
