00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,200
Vancouver rundown for Friday, March 7, 2025.

2
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,240
The trust is gone, and with those words, Premier David Eby has announced a provincial toll

3
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,080
for trucks heading through BC to Alaska.

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,720
Eby calls it a show of strength and an answer to the tariffs imposed by Donald Trump that

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,760
are hurting families on both sides of the border.

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:27,560
The move comes as Trump announces a pause on some tariffs for Canadian and Mexican goods

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,520
until April 2.

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:36,540
The new BC legislation also allows for the removal of many inter-provincial trade barriers.

9
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:41,880
Other news, taxpayers are now footing the bill for Mayor Ken Sim to get increased police

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,200
protection.

11
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,440
The heightened security follows bomb threats, protester visits, and the odd shove directed

12
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,480
at the Mayor of Vancouver.

13
00:00:50,480 --> 00:00:54,560
It's also in addition to the quarter of a million dollars already spent on extra police

14
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,320
protection for Sim over the past four months.

15
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:04,720
Another patient in the Fraser Health region has come down with a case of the measles.

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:10,080
Health officials say this one is not related to previous infections in the lower mainland

17
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:16,440
last month, but is thought to have also been picked up during a visit to Southeast Asia.

18
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:22,720
Fraser Health warns patients who visited Royal Columbians Emergency Ward between Monday afternoon

19
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,800
and Tuesday morning that they may have been exposed.

20
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,020
Patients with any symptoms are asked to call health care providers before heading to any

21
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:35,280
clinic or emergency room.

22
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,080
One person is dead, another badly hurt after a crash on Highway 10 near 144th Street in

23
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,200
Surrey.

24
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,120
It happened at around 7am Thursday morning.

25
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,160
The cause is still being figured out.

26
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,640
