Alaska lawmaker threatens BC cruise industry, threatens to divert ships

B.C. Premier David Eby asked Alaskans to help send a message to U.S. President Donald Trump about this ongoing trade war. Earlier this week, Eby’s government introduced legislation that would tax trucks and vehicles using the province's infrastructure to travel to Alaska. In response, Alaska Sen. Dan Sullivan spoke on a radio show saying he would lobby to have cruise ships bypass B.C. ports on their way to other destinations. Cruise season is a massive economic driver in the province that could be at risk if the trade war continues. Eby said this trade war is not worth it for anyone. Global's Aaron McArthur reports.
