Eastern Canadian premiers renew pleas to buy local amid trade war with United States

Eastern Canadian premiers are urging residents to purchase locally made goods as Canada engages in a trade conflict with the United States. Premier Rob Lantz of Prince Edward Island called on Islanders to seek out Canadian and provincial products, stating that every dollar spent on local goods benefits local communities and businesses.

New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt echoed this sentiment, warning that her province will face higher costs due to the U.S. President's new tariffs on Canadian imports. She encouraged New Brunswickers to support local businesses by increasing their purchases of local products. Quebec Premier Christine Frechette suggested that if every family in the province spent $25 per week on locally made items, it would inject approximately $3 billion into the provincial economy.
