British Columbia Premier David Eby says his province is “all in” on a united Team Canada approach to counter U.S. President Donald Trump’s on and off tariffs on Canadians imports, including blocking or taxing electricity from his province headed south.

“I think that it’s absolutely vital that the federal government work with premiers and bring us all along, if possible, but at the end of the day, we’ve got to send a strong message to the Americans,” Eby told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday.

“I’ll never put another premier’s resources on the table, but I can speak for British Columbia,” he also said, when asked for his stance on the issue, factoring that Saskatchewan and Alberta are staunchly opposed to the idea of using energy and natural resources as a bargaining tool.
