As state-level Republicans in Alaska work to affirm their close relationship with Canada amid U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war and threats of annexation, an Alaskan senator has warned British Columbia’s premier that “you don’t want to mess with Alaska.”
Dan Sullivan of the Republican Party, who represents Alaska in the U.S. Senate, made the remarks in an interview with an Anchorage radio station posted to his Facebook page.
During the conversation, which touched on topics ranging from energy development to Ukraine, Sullivan, one of two senators who represent the state in Washington, was asked about B.C. introducing legislation that grants the province the ability to levy new fees on U.S. commercial trucks heading to Alaska.
Exactly. How dare we …not…sell…OUR…Electricity! And how DARE we put tarriffs on things because the US put tarriffs on things first?!
Isn’t American known for its rugged individualism? They don’t need Canada, why would they use our roads or dare inconvenience themselves crossing into/out of our border?!!
This reminds me of the sov cit movement. Children with no understanding of the amount of effort and cooperation required for a functional society.
