lumber duties precipitate
extended trade turmoil with
the U.S. "Our Asia-Paciic
exposure would provide
some resiliency and some cushion, so
I would say it would be less challeng-
ing in the British Columbia context,"
Peacock says.
Meanwhile, exports to the U.S. consti-
tute a smaller share of the B.C. economy
than those of other provinces, minimizing
the negative impact of any hardballs from
Washington.
"[We're] in a better position to weather
any substantial trade barriers that the U.S.
recommends," Peacock argues. "Having
said that, I'm fairly optimistic we're not
going to get hit too hard by whatever the
Trump administration decides it wants
to do. I think we would come out OK in a
NAFTA renegotiation."
Barring a dramatic change in the global
economic environment, B.C. will keep
delivering what the world wants. Its politi-
cal system remains stable, notwithstand-
ing an election that yielded a minority
government. The province remains an
attractive destination for people and capi-
tal when they see what other jurisdictions
have to oŒer. The growth of the Top 100
companies shows just how much is possi-
ble in good times, and what will carry B.C.
through any change in the international
environment.
