Eby says the move against Alaska-bound trucks is part of a series of responses the province in planning after the "unprecedented attack" from the United States that put a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian goods.
That’s not at all what it sounds like. I’m reading:
The original agreement between Canada and the United States regarding construction of the highway stipulated that its Canadian portion be turned over to Canada six months after the end of the war. In the postwar settlement, Canada did not pay for the highway itself, but assumed responsibility for its ongoing maintenance; furthermore, Canada compensated the United States for associated airfields, telephone lines, and other assets. The handover took place on April 1, 1946, when the U.S. Army transferred control of the road through Yukon and British Columbia to the Canadian Army, Northwest Highway System.
Canada and the US signed an agreement to make this happen. It also sounds like the road was virtually unusable during WWII
The US government built the Alaska Highway. And then gave it to Canada, effectively.
The US also doesn’t toll Canadian vehicles going around Northern Ontario.
We used to be friends and neighbours
Well they did build that highway without our consent.

Can you explain the tolls in northern ontario?
Do they maintain it though? Just because they build doesn’t mean it’s free forever.
