B.C. Premier David Eby said there is “not a chance in hell” that U.S. alcohol will be put back on B.C. liquor store shelves.
He made the comment in Prince Edward Island as Canada’s premiers met and discussed U.S. President Donald Trump’s new wave of tariffs on Canadian goods.
“The idea of the president that he can bully us into whatever he wishes is incorrect,” Eby said.
“We’re strong. We are, despite our many debates, united as a country. And we will continue to stand strong. And we’ll build relationships with those countries, at the national level, at provincial level, that want to have a relationship with us.”
Get breaking National news
Eby said the government has already started looking elsewhere for trade partners who deal in good faith.
“As British Columbians and as Canadians, we have been working to diversify trade relationships going to India, going to China, going to Asia,” he added.
“That’s why the prime minister and I signed an agreement that will deepen and increase the infrastructure needed for us to be able to participate in the global economy and be less dependent on the United States.”
Eby also said his staff will be reaching out to the U.S. ambassador to remove mentions of the historic friendship with Canada from their USA 250 website and literature in light of his new wave of tariffs on Canada.
“I feel sorry for Americans,” Eby added.
“If you can’t be friends with Canada, then you almost certainly do not have a friend anywhere in the world. And that is a very lonely place to be. Given all of our friends and relatives that live south of the border, all we can hope is that there’s a brighter day for America coming up.
“But in the meantime, they’ll just be paying more for what they need that they get from Canadians. And if that makes the president happy, then there’s not much to be said about that.”
Jaded Old Bag – Yeah I’m sure you’ve been stocking up on American booze while you sit in your run down old trailer on the outskirts of Maple Ridge. You crusty old NAZl BlTCH
I’m guessing the private liquor stores are making a killing on American booze right now, if they’re smart enough to stock it.
Build relationships??. With who??. You had better talk to your masters first as they are the ones who are stopping BC from forming any business relationships. To quote the biggest grifter of them all (Cindy Woodhouse)…”Until there is a strong first nations economy, there will not be a vibrant national economy”.
United? LMAO
I hope Trump bombs BC and Ottawa
You just got a text message? That’s a lie. You don’t have any friends 🤣🤣
NAZl TRUMP F*CK OFF

Eby firing shots at the last chance saloon,
So hilarious talk is cheap but actions speak louder than words so let’s see some action Davie.
Lol look at these Conservative goofs aka Trump boot lickers crying because U.S. alcohol got pulled from the shelves in B.C. Further proof that Conservatives in B.C. and Alberta are traitors to Canada
Doug Brekfaust – So you’re a big drinker hey. Most racist white Conservatives are. I knew there was something rotting your brain
and there’s no chance in hell this USELESS PUTZ will be re-elected as premier of BC.
Eby is a complete waste of space.
The sooner Eby and the NDP are gone the sooner we can return to some form of sane Government.
I think a lot of people wouldn’t buy it anyways.
I know I’ve moved on for good,
I will vote for whoever says;
The idea of the “president”that he can bully us into whatever he wishes is incorrect.
Sub the word “president” with FN
And tell me we will ALL live together in the amazing country as one nation going forward with the exact same rights and taxes, and my vote is yours.
funny that it’s about boycotting US booze but they won’t stop the beer just the hard stuff. That’s how stoopid and hypocritical the NDP are. Just the dumbest of the dumb.
talk from girly boy eby
Bring our firefighters home to help out here first.
