Canadians proud to be considered ‘nasty’ in defending sovereignty, Eby says

B.C. Premier David Eby answers questions during a press conference following a cabinet swearing-in ceremony at Government House in Victoria on July 17.
Most Canadians would be “proud” to be considered mean and “nasty” for standing up for their sovereignty and economy in the face of threats from U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration, British Columbia Premier David Eby said Tuesday.
But he said Americans are friends, colleagues and family members, and B.C. has worked in close partnership with states in the U.S. Pacific Northwest for many years, spurring economic growth and other benefits on both sides of the border.
Eby’s remarks at a premiers’ gathering in Huntsville, Ont., came the day after the U.S. Ambassador to Canada said bans on American alcohol and Canadians avoiding U.S. travel are among the reasons Trump thinks they are “nasty” to deal with.
