BC Opposition Leader Proposes 10-Point Plan to Address Tariff Threats

BC Opposition Leader John Rustad has announced his party's 10-point tariff response plan, urging the Eby government to implement it immediately to safeguard the province's economy.

In a letter to Premier David Eby, Rustad called for the province to negotiate agreements with other provinces to eliminate barriers to interprovincial trade, reduce carbon taxes, and open B.C. trade offices in countries beyond the U.S.

Meanwhile, Ravi Kahlon, the head of the cabinet committee established by Premier Eby to tackle potential tariffs, has emphasized the government's commitment to diversifying B.C.'s economy and reducing its reliance on the U.S. He noted that the province cannot endure continuous threats from the Trump administration for another four years.
