B.C.’s Eby Urges Carney to Look Beyond Tariff Response in U.S.-Canada Trade War
Eby said Ottawa should look beyond matching tariffs, citing 14% of B.C. exports at risk and 11,200 jobs that studies say could be endangered.
- On Tuesday, British Columbia Premier David Eby urged Prime Minister Mark Carney to implement non-tariff measures against the United States, expanding Ottawa's response beyond retaliatory tariffs in the escalating trade dispute.
- Following the collapse of trade negotiations, President Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on about $30 billion worth of Canadian imports, prompting Canada to match the duties dollar-for-dollar starting Sept. 8.
- With roughly 14% of British Columbia's exports affected and 11,200 jobs at risk, Eby suggested targeting the $12 billion F-35 fighter jet purchase and restricting thermal coal shipments through Metro Vancouver terminals.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney pledged a $7.5 billion relief package for affected industries, which Eby called a "good start," though he emphasized federal support must remain "frictionless" for small businesses.
- Canada has no plans to reopen trade talks with Washington, as Prime Minister Mark Carney indicated the government is prepared to subsidize impacted industries until the end of President Trump's term in 2029.
