British Columbia’s Jobs Minister Ravi Kahlon said it’s too early to tell if Donald Trump’s latest tariff threat against the film industry is legitimate.
Kahlon told reporters Monday that this is the latest in a long series of threats by Trump against Canadian industries.
Kahlon noted film is a difficult industry to tariff, and said the province is prepared to work with the sector to navigate any U.S. tariffs that do emerge.

government has been working on ways to diversify the arts sector away from the U.S.
