Premier David Eby Says Trump Tariffs Could Delay or Cancel Grocery Rebates in BC

Premier David Eby has indicated that if Trump implements tariffs, his party’s election-promised grocery rebates could be delayed or canceled.

Eby said that the first priority is to protect British Columbians from the threat of Trump’s tariffs. He added that the finance minister is preparing the budget and considering every possible risk.

It is worth noting that Premier David Eby promised to provide up to $1,000 in grocery rebates to middle-class individuals in BC during last year’s election campaign, upon returning to power. However, Trump’s tariffs are now making it difficult for the BC government to afford the $1.8 billion cost.
