Vancouver rundown for Tuesday, November 26, 2024.
BC business leaders, including those with the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade,
warn US President-elect Donald Trump's new promise to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports
will have a serious impact on this province's economy.
Trump said he would slap the tariffs on Canada and Mexico on his first day in office.
For some reason, Trump says both countries have failed to stem the flow of illegal aliens
and drugs like fentanyl coming into the US.
BC is a major supplier of resources for American housing and manufacturing.
Other news, Canadian border guards have stopped close to 250 kilos of cocaine from entering the country
at the Alder Grove and Pacific Highway crossings.
CBSA says its officers, along with dogs, found the drugs during three separate incidents.
The street value pegged at close to $7 million.
In each case, the drugs were found in commercial trucks.
A car and a garage have been destroyed in an early morning explosion in fire in White Rock.
The home suffered smoke and water damage, but no one was hurt.
The cause remains a mystery.
Now some Swifties got a short-lived glimmer of hope
after Ticketmaster released more Taylor Swift tickets for the Superstars' three Vancouver concert dates.
Until Monday, the concert had been sold out for months.
These extra tickets were sold out only minutes after they were made available online.
The heiress tour includes three nights in Vancouver starting December the 7th.
A mix of sun and cloud on Tuesday, showers on Wednesday, rain on Thursday.
