Point Roberts is a community of about 1,100 people located just south of Tsawwassen , Washington state.

The community relies heavily on British Columbia for much of its commerce.

Residents consider British Columbians and Canadians brothers and sisters, not just neighbours.

It is unclear if B.C. Premier David Eby would tax trucks crossing the border from Point Roberts to Alaska .

Tamra Hansen , owner of the Saltwater Café and the Pier Restaurant , changed the name of their Americanos to Canadianos .

She said they are down about 55 per cent in business.

Hansen said she is concerned that if things don’t change, then she is worried Point Roberts is going to become like an abandoned mining town.
