British Columbia tariffs take effect as David Eby speaks on Canada’s response See how counter-tariffs may reshape trade after talks collapsed
British Columbia Premier David Eby is scheduled to speak Tuesday afternoon as Canada’s countertariffs on billions of dollars of U.S. goods come into force.
The remarks are set for 12:15 p.m. PT and will be livestreamed. The development comes after Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada would match recently imposed U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar, following the breakdown of trade talks last month.
Carney has warned Canadians that the shift away from the United States will be difficult, while saying the alternative would be worse. The story will be updated after the press conference.
