B.C. Premier David Eby said on Friday that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on President Donald Trump’s tariffs was a win for British Columbians and Canadians.
“There are signs of spring… there may be a thawing in some of this challenge that we faced and the willingness of those that hold the checks and balances of power in the United States to stand up for the relationship that we have valued over the years,” Eby said.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday ruled that Trump overstepped his presidential authority by imposing tariffs on Canada, Mexico and other countries under emergency powers, striking down a central economic and diplomatic strategy that has upended global trade.
A majority of the justices sided with lower courts that had found Trump improperly used tariffs to respond to national emergencies he declared over fentanyl trafficking in North America and international trade deficits, the latter of which led to so-called “reciprocal” tariffs against dozens of nations.
The law Trump used to exercise that authority, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEPPA), “does not authorize the President to impose tariffs,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion.

Eby made clear, however, that Friday’s ruling does not mean B.C. businesses will see any meaningful impact.

“The tariffs that were imposed by the president on Canada and British Columbia, there’s two kinds,” he said.
“The tariffs that were struck down today, but also national security tariffs. And it’s the national security tariffs that are impacting our lumber and our manufactured wood products like cabinets and countertops, as well as aluminum that’s produced up in Kitimat.
“Those tariffs were not struck down today. But this court decision does open the door to a potential challenge related to the softwood national security tariffs.”

Figures. Mr. Troll is a c*ward. Lots of garbage but no guts. Whatever. Thats all you have is disgusting taunts. You offer nothing of value or use to any conversation cause you simply can’t. There isnt enough grey matter in your head to spool a coherent, decent thought. A true red MAGAt.
Again let’s meet at my work, and you can come on my face.
Oh Mr. Troll projecting himself again. Have you any pride? Of course not. There is no pride in a basement dwelling troll who thinks it is too smart. I asked you before, lets meet at my work seeing as you know where it is. I would like to put the issue you have with me to rest. If you hate me so much, come and say it to my face?
I’d take him out myself but I’m too much of a coward. I’m just your average Canadian homegrown terrorist. All talk zero action
You can all just suck my tiny c o ck. How’s that sound? Good? Good
Can someone just shut Eby up. he has done enough damage to BC. Guess the fool missed Trumps comments on the ruling. Eby beaks off too soon again.
Eby? We need a half decent sniper.
He does not need to flap his gums on this, just more garbage out of his mouth.
Eby is irrelevant in Tariff discussions.
