"It’s unbelievable!” BC border shop sees business plummet 80% amid US tariff threats, buy local boom

It appears that U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs and comments about Canada have hit a nerve and British Columbians are taking a stand using their wallets.

Peter Raju, president and owner of the Peace Arch Duty Free Shop, told Global News that when B.C. Premier David Eby urged residents to buy local and rethink possible travel plans to the U.S., business dried up dramatically.

From his observations, he said Canadians are not crossing the border and very few Americans are entering Canada and the store.
