VANCOUVER – Projections show U.S. President Donald Trump’s promised tariffs on Canadian goods could hit British Columbia’s economy harder than the recession triggered by the 2008 global financial crisis, Premier David Eby said as he backed pandemic-style relief measures.

Eby said Tuesday his government would make sure “every harm that is inflicted on British Columbia families is met and matched with a response to the United States.”
