David Eby asked British Columbians to buy products made in Canada as a way to counter expected U.S. tariffs.

Food security professor Lenore Newman says food processing industry in B.C. is in 'shambles' She wants to see the government loosen regulations to allow food processing on farmland.

Eby 's comments were meant to be “symbolic” and signal unity among Canada ’s provinces.

Buy B.C. program runs a searchable database of 8,100 participating products and retail partners.

Products include produce, meat, seafood, eggs and dairy products.

Low levels of food grown elsewhere, such as vanilla, certain spices or sugar, may still be present, but usually in quantities of less than two per cent.
