Eby says he'll tell Carney no deal with U.S. is better than a bad one
Eby will urge Carney to reject a weak U.S. trade deal and back RICO-style laws after a U.S. probe led to indictments of three B.C. residents.
- On Friday, Premier David Eby and provincial leaders gathered on Prince Edward Island for a Council meeting before discussions with Prime Minister Mark Carney on trade and anti-racketeering laws.
- President Donald Trump declined to extend the Canada-United States-Mexico trade deal known as CUSMA for 16 years, prompting Eby to insist that Carney must "hold the line" against entrenching current tariffs.
- Citing a Justice Department investigation involving three residents among 24 global suspects linked to India-based criminal groups, Eby argues Canada needs RICO-style laws, calling them "something we should try."
- While acknowledging the Civil Liberties Association would likely oppose expanded police authority, Eby suggests his proposed legal framework for targeting crime facilitators is necessary to balance public safety across Canada.
- Eby maintains no trade deal is preferable to a bad one and plans to push Ottawa to adopt American-style anti-racketeering measures, seeking unified federal action against organized crime.
