BC Premier David Eby has voiced support for the federal government’s plan to counter Trump’s proposed tariffs. The plan includes possible export taxes or targeted restrictions on Canadian supplies of key goods to the United States.
Eby emphasized that the premiers are united in their commitment to eliminating interprovincial trade barriers and exploring trade partnerships beyond the U.S. However, while most premiers oppose Trump’s tariffs and support measures like banning exports of certain goods to the U.S., Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has declined to back the federal plan.
Smith stated that Alberta cannot support imposing export tariffs or banning exports of oil, gas, and other products to the U.S. Alberta, being Canada’s largest oil-producing province, relies heavily on revenue from these sectors.
