British Columbia’s premier is assembling a “war room” over the looming trade war between Canada and the United States, with President Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs on Canadian goods coming as soon as Saturday.

A statement from Premier David Eby’s office says he is tasking a new cabinet committee with co-ordinating a “whole-of-government” approach aimed at protecting B.C. workers, businesses and the economy against the tariff threat.
