British Columbia politicians are calling on the premier to do more as the province prepares to face U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods as well as retaliation by Ottawa.

The move came after U.S. President Donald Trump signed executive orders Saturday to slap Canada with duties of 10 percent on energy and 25 percent on everything else.
