Road Conditions Alaska and Yukon

A couple of years back, the US announced it was not renewing the SHAKWAK (sp) agreement with Canada. No idea what the acronym stands for. When the agreement was first signed, it was determined that the vast majority of vehicles running from Haines to Alaska were US owned and operated, much of it freight. So the Canadian government, agreed to do the actual maintenance of the Alaska Highway ifrom Haines north and the US agreed to pay for most of the maintenance. Keep in mind that very few Canadians actually use the Alaska Hwy, even today. Yukon only has a population of close to 50,000 people and most of those live in Whitehorse. So that is many miles/Ks of road for such a small population to pay for and , IMHO, Ottawa is about as interested in this part of Canada as D.C. Is interested in the roads of Alaska.
Time to put my soapbox back in the closet. Perhaps Sue or Murray has some info on whether or not the agreement was renewed
