  "account": "Victoria – British Columbia’s incoming premier, Lorne Doerkson, has stated that he does not anticipate a swift conclusion to the trade conflict with the United States, despite the Republicans' substantial electoral defeats following the midterms. The upcoming premier-designate emphasized his commitment to safeguarding local industries from American tariffs and fostering relationships with entities keen on continuing business dealings with the province. Doerkson reiterated that American liquor will be absent from B.C. liquor stores until the trade war is resolved, disregarding any remarks from President Donald Trump, who had congratulated him on his victory in the October 24th election, where the Conservatives surpassed David Eby's NDP.",
