Tariff threat should force British Columbians to rethink travel to the U.S., premier says [Video]

British Columbians should rethink their vacations to the United States in light of Donald Trump’s tariff threat, Premier David Eby said Tuesday. 

The U.S. president said Monday that 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods could take effect as soon as Feb. 1, which Eby called a “deliberate economic attack” on B.C. families. 

“We should really be thinking carefully about spending our money in that country,” he said. “We will not spend money in a country that wants to do economic harm to Canadians.”

Eby stood by his support for retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, such as Florida orange juice. He did not rule out other measures, such as banning the sale of U.S. wine and liquor in B.C. stores, charging U.S. trucks to drive through Canada to get to Alaska or banning American companies from bidding on B.C. infrastructure projects.
