B.C. Premier David Eby, along with other premiers, is calling on residents to buy local whenever and wherever possible as U.S. President Donald Trump continues to threaten tariffs on Canadian goods.

While many British Columbians are no doubt trying to do that, Dr. Lenore Newman, the director of the Food and Agriculture Institute at the University of the Fraser Valley, explained that less and less food is processed locally than before.

She said that needs to change in B.C. because right now about 80 per cent of the province’s fruits and vegetables either come from California, or if they are grown in the province, they are being shipped south of the border, processed there and then sent back.

Global’s Travis Prasad has more.
