The difference between the US west coast vs the Canadian west coast is though -- the US west coast stretches from Blaine, WA all the way to Imperial Beach, CA, and any given city with a big enough port can take the business of another port. But here in BC, we pretty much only have Vancouver that can meaningfully serve as the gateway to the rest of Canada on the West Coast.

(Or we can just have our ports shut down, and have stuff shipped up from the US~ yay~)

But that’s the hands we are dealt. The only thing that’ll change mindsets is if it turns into a situation like Portland where they used to have a thriving container terminal but due to how militant their union was, it drove away all the business. Eventually they just shut it down.
