Alberta accounted for $21.4 billion in imports and exports through the Port of Vancouver in 2016, which delivered considerable benefits for both provinces. Alberta’s 2016 exports to China, Japan and the rest of Asia totalled $5.7 billion alone, the Business Council of B.C. reported last summer....

In a 2017 report, the Business Council of B.C. characterized their economies as arguably the most interdependent among any two provinces in Canada.
