B.C. enacts measures against Alaskan goods amid tariffs

British Columbia has introduced new measures targeting goods to Alaska in response to U.S. tariffs. The Economic Stabilisation Tariff Response Act aims to remove interprovincial trade barriers and prioritize local procurement for public sector entities. The Act also allows for tolls on vehicles traveling through B.C. to Alaska. It includes a sunset clause, set to expire on May 28, 2027, unless extended. Implementation depends on similar legislation from other provinces. These developments mark a significant escalation in the trade conflict between Canada and the U.S. as B.C. seeks to protect its economy amid ongoing tariff disputes.
