Trump-loving Alaskans are paying the value—actually

Trump-loving Alaskans are paying the value—actually
SHARE

Alaska is large and divorced from the contiguous 48 states. Three-fourths of the state’s communities, comprising as a lot as 25% of the state’s inhabitants, aren’t even on the state’s street system. As such, it’s costly to inventory its grocery cabinets. People could complain about excessive grocery costs, however Alaskans, particularly, face even larger payments.

“As an example, [Mike Jones, an economics professor at the University of Alaska-Anchorage,] said a half gallon of milk that would cost about $2.80 in Anchorage or Fairbanks could cost about $6 in rural communities, particularly in the west and southwest,” in keeping with The Shelby Report, which covers the grocery store trade. “Infant formula that would cost about $18 in Anchorage could cost up to $30 for the same size in the rural areas. A five-pound bag of rice, priced at $5 in Anchorage could cost closer to $15 in many rural communities.”

In response to the St. Louis Federal Reserve, the U.S. metropolis common for a gallon of entire milk is round $4. Half gallons aren’t half the fee; the mathematics isn’t that straightforward. However usually talking, and particularly when you get out of the larger Alaskan cities, groceries are extraordinarily costly. 

In 2024, 55% of Alaska’s voters backed Donald Trump over Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, who acquired 41%. 

In 2025, Trump determined to choose a combat with Canada for no logical purpose in any respect. And the factor is, irrespective of how insulting Trump and his minions are towards Canada, our buddies to the north aren’t powerless to ship severe retaliatory ache. 


Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

Take British Columbia, the land gateway from the decrease 48 states to Alaska, for instance.

“British Columbia is hitting back at economic threats from the United States by introducing tools to impose fees on U.S. truck traffic travelling through the province on the way to Alaska,” reported the Canadian Broadcast Firm. “Premier David Eby said the tolls may not be used, but warned that Canada needs to have tools available to fight the threat of tariffs coming from President Donald Trump until he backs down from his plans altogether.”

This motion would come on high of already enacted provisions like “removing alcohol from Republican-leaning states from B.C. Liquor Store shelves, de-prioritizing U.S. contractors on government contract bids, and fast-tracking the process through which energy and resource projects are vetted for approval in order to improve the province’s self-reliance and trade relationships with other nations,” in keeping with the CBC.

In response, Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy, a Republican, victim-blamed Canada like an asshole.

“My hope is that the federal governments between our two great countries work out solutions to the tariff issues, and provincial and state governments refrain from making unilateral decisions that may have negative consequences that negatively impact discussions at the federal level as they find solutions,” he advised the Alaska Beacon. 

And a Republican Alaska lawmaker whose day job is trucking sounded the dire warning. “It’s going to be a big deal for two things,” he stated to the Alaska Beacon. “Fresh produce—the vast majority of our fresh produce … for most of Alaska gets trucked up. The other major issue that I could see is with the oil industry. If you want to get something up here fast, you put it on a truck, not a barge.”

The chief director of the Alaska Trucking Affiliation was equally alarmed, saying, “Such measures will significantly increase transportation costs, disrupt supply chains, and raise prices for essential goods that Alaskans rely on. … We strongly urge provincial policymakers to maintain the great relationships and commonalities they share with Alaska while our federal governments work towards solutions to avoid tariffs.”

Alaska Republicans might present kinship with Canada by standing with their neighbor towards Trump’s harmful belligerence. They may blast Trump’s efforts and name out simply how a lot it will damage common Alaskans. 

However nah, higher to chastise B.C.’s provincial authorities for standing up for his or her rights? 

Oh effectively. Fuck round and discover out, proper?
