00:00A litre of gas in White Rock, BC, so just across the border, is $1.85 a litre.
00:06But at Mike's gas station, it costs $1.58. So that is 20 cents cheaper a litre.
00:13But now he's struggling to see customers.
00:15When this tariff war came into effect, did you see the impact right away?
00:19About 80% of my customers are Canadian.
00:21I understand it's the world's frustrating right now.
00:24I think the Canadians are, they're hurt.
