British Columbia Premier David Eby says he and his cabinet need sweeping new powers with which to be “nimble” in the face of economic threats from Washington. His NDP government’s Bill 7 would allow it to make regulations “addressing challenges” from abroad, or indeed for any purpose “supporting the economy of British Columbia and Canada.” These are things like tolling American trucks travelling through B.C. to Alaska — which Alaska is not happy about — and altering procurement rules to exclude American companies.
