Premier David Eby said the tolls may not be used, but warned that Canada needs to have tools available to fight the threat of tariffs coming from President Donald Trump until he backs down from his plans altogether.

British Columbia's premier said the Canadian province is planning to pass legislation allowing it to levy a toll on U.S. commercial trucks heading to Alaska.

British Columbia will introduce legislation letting it charge tolls on commercial vehicles heading to Alaska in retaliation against President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

British Columbia will introduce legislation in the coming days that would give it the ability to levy fees on commercial trucks travelling from the United States through the province to Alaska, Premier David Eby said.
