BC Premier Slams US Ambassador for Trump’s “Nasty” Claim, Calls for Boycotts
Ahead of a briefing on Canada-U.S. trade negotiations, B.C. Premier David Eby suggested an opportunity might exist for a deal on softwood lumber. Eby expressed the belief that U.S. leadership lacks awareness of the offensive nature of their comments, citing Ambassador Hoekstra’s remarks about Canadians being “nasty” to deal with. Eby also stated that Canadian boycotts were “having an impact,” and encouraged Canadians to stand firm against the U.S. government’s stance, asserting everyday Americans hold different views.
