Ontario Premier Doug Ford has publicly advocated for a bilateral trade deal with the United States that would shut out Mexico. Quebec Premier Francois Legault is calling on Trudeau to appease Trump and his “legitimate” concerns about the Canadian border being a gateway for illegal drugs. Ford wants retaliatory tariffs. Legault does not.

British Columbia Premier David Eby said Canada had to approach Donald Trump's plan to impose a 25 per cent U.S. tariff on Canadian goods from a position of strength, as business, trade and community organizations called for quick action on the trade threat.

B.C.'s Premier David Eby Tuesday (Nov. 26) said B.C. and Canada won't be divided during any future trade negotiations with the United States.
