Canadian authorities say that tolls are on the way for American truckers traveling through B.C. in response to recent tariffs imposed by the White House.

President Donald Trump imposed 25% tariffs on Canada this week in an effort to curb cross-border human and drug trafficking into the U.S. Since then, some tariff exemptions have been implemented, and Trump has signaled that he will delay the implementation of other tariffs until early April.

However, Canadian authorities are responding to the White House tariffs with reciprocal tariffs and, in British Columbia, a plan to target U.S. commercial truck traffic with tolls.

On March 6, B.C. Premier David Eby spoke at the Legislative Assembly in Victoria on a plan to implement retaliatory tolls on American truckers traveling through B.C. en route to Alaska.

“I’m here to share that we will be introducing a new law in the coming days to respond to this historic challenge: unprecedented legislation. It will include such countermeasures as allowing the province to apply fees to commercial trucks that transit through British Columbia on their way to Alaska,” said Eby.

B.C. officials have not provided details on the toll amounts or how they would be implemented.

“The White House started a trade war we didn’t want, and we must answer with strength,” Premier Eby said. “We are responding to this unprecedented attack with several targeted measures and in the coming weeks we will arm ourselves with even more tools as next steps to fend off a sustained economic aggression.”
