Premiers in Eastern Canada are once again calling on residents to buy local as Canada squares off against the United States in an escalating trade war.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Prince Edward Island Premier Rob Lantz issued a news release Sunday urging Islanders to seek out products produced in Canada and in their home province.<\/p>\n

Lantz said every dollar spent on goods from Canada or P.E.I. supports the local people and businesses behind the product.<\/p>\n

New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt made a similar plea on Saturday, saying businesses in her province will be hit with U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s new 50 per cent tariffs on some Canadian imports.<\/p>\n

Holt called on New Brunswickers to double down on their efforts to buy local and support businesses in the province.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Quebec Premier Christine Fr\u00e9chette said if each family in the province bought $25 worth of local products every week, roughly $3 billion would be injected back into the economy.<\/p>\n
