BC Conservative Leader John Rustad advocates for the re-establishment of independent international trade offices in Asia to mitigate potential tariff risks from the U.S. He criticizes Premier David Eby's plan to counter the threat, highlighting the lack of diversification in trade.
BC Conservative Leader John Rustad is calling for the reopening of independent international trade offices in Asia, including China, to counter potential tariff threats from the U.S. Rustad argues that these offices are crucial for protecting B.C. 's interests in a global market. He criticizes Premier David Eby's three-point plan to address the tariff threat, saying it falls short in diversifying trade.
Rustad highlights the closure of the independent trade offices by the current BC NDP government as an example of this lack of diversification. He also criticizes Eby's approach to border security, arguing that the province is not doing enough to address the flow of illicit fentanyl from China. Rustad proposes establishing a provincial port police force to enhance security at B.C. ports.
