00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:04.120
Vancouver rundown for Thursday, March 27, 2025.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.259
A direct attack on Canada. That's how Prime Minister

00:00:09.259 --> 00:00:11.880
Mark Carney describes Donald Trump's newly announced

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:16.079
25 % tariffs on most auto imports to the U .S.

00:00:16.179 --> 00:00:19.640
Those tariffs are expected to start April 2nd

00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.760
when most other Canadian exports are hit. Carney

00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.160
says the tariffs will hurt the Canadian auto

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:29.500
sector, but retaliatory action may soon be introduced.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.939
Other news, lower mainland gas prices have bumped

00:00:33.939 --> 00:00:36.799
up again less than a week before BC scraps the

00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.100
consumer -based carbon tax. Many stations in

00:00:40.100 --> 00:00:43.159
Metro Vancouver had regular gas selling at over

00:00:43.159 --> 00:00:46.000
$1 .80 a liter. Stations in the Fraser Valley

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.340
were slightly lower, but still up from recent

00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:52.539
prices. Industry experts say the higher prices

00:00:52.539 --> 00:00:55.500
can be attributed to a lower Canadian dollar

00:00:55.500 --> 00:00:58.759
and an uptick in demand during spring break.

00:00:59.539 --> 00:01:03.159
Metro Vancouver transit users will soon be paying

00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.400
about 4 % more for fares. It is the largest hike

00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:10.299
in more than four years for bus, sky train and

00:01:10.299 --> 00:01:13.819
sea bus users and will come into effect on Canada

00:01:13.819 --> 00:01:17.260
Day. An adult day pass, by the way, is now about

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:22.859
$12. McBarge. has sunk. The iconic but long -since

00:01:22.859 --> 00:01:25.659
-derelict floating Expo 86 McDonald's restaurant

00:01:25.659 --> 00:01:29.359
has capsized at its Fraser River mooring in Maple

00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:32.739
Ridge. Most of the iconic barge was below the

00:01:32.739 --> 00:01:35.420
waterline on Wednesday, but there's no word on

00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:38.400
what happened. The barge served as a McDonald's

00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.480
restaurant during Vancouver's 1986 World Exposition.

00:01:43.549 --> 00:01:46.629
Morning showers giving way to clouds and gusty

00:01:46.629 --> 00:01:49.930
wind on Thursday afternoon. Showers on Friday

00:01:49.930 --> 00:01:53.790
and Saturday. For all the details on these local
