BC's Opposition Leader proposes a carbon tax on U.S. coal to counter potential tariffs on Canadian lumber.

British Columbia's Opposition Leader John Rustad proposes a carbon tax on U.S. thermal coal shipped through B.C. ports to counter potential U.S. tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber. Rustad sees this as leverage against President Trump's proposed tariffs, which could exceed 50%. Premier David Eby notes the tax faces challenges due to federal regulations on port exports. Rustad also calls for banning American funding for B.C. environmental activists.
