New Lt.-Gov. Wendy Cocchia will deliver a throne speech outlining the NDP government’s goals.

B.C. is facing economic uncertainty and the looming threat of whopping tariffs from U.S. President Donald Trump .

Already, at least one flagship promise is out the window, with last week's cancellation of the government's $ 1,000 grocery rebate.

“A big difference is, and this is true provincially and federally, the government’s ability to step in and address that uncertainty, perhaps provide fiscal supports is very, very much diminished and compromised,” De Jong said. “As much as I deplore and find insulting and unacceptable the tactics and language of President Trump , the fact that we are in such a weakened position today to respond is the fault of governments in Canada .”.
