Multiple reports relay British Columbia’s premier urging Canadians to bolster domestic spending and avoid travel that benefits foreign economies, particularly as California launches a charm campaign to attract visitors. Emphasizing the importance of supporting local businesses, the premier warned that diverting spending to the U.S. could undermine national economic sovereignty. The comments, made amid broader debates on trade and national identity, call for Canadians to “keep the pressure up” on cross‐border economic influences.

British Columbia's premier says Canadians need to "keep the pressure up" on the United States by buying local and avoiding travel there, despite a recent push from California to draw visitors from Canada.
