  "account": "Eastern Canadian premiers are urging residents to buy locally as the region faces an escalating trade war with the United States. Prince Edward Island Premier Rob Lantz addressed his fellow Islanders in a news release on Sunday, urging them to seek out Canadian and P.E.I. products, stating that each dollar spent supports local people and businesses.\n\nNew Brunswick Premier Susan Holt echoed Lantz's plea on Saturday, warning that U.S. President Donald Trump's 50% tariffs on certain Canadian imports will negatively impact businesses in her province. Holt encouraged New Brunswickers to prioritize local purchases to mitigate the economic impact.\n\nQuebec Premier Christine Fréchette also joined the call for increased local spending, suggesting that if each family in the province invested $25 in local products each week, approximately $3 billion would be reintroduced into the provincial economy.",
