With B.C. port workers poised to renew their strike on Saturday morning, Alberta's premier is renewing her call for the federal government to legislate the union back to work.
"The federal government must reconvene Parliament and legislate these workers back to work. Albertans and Canadians cannot afford to have hundreds of millions of dollars daily in products delayed at these ports," Danielle Smith said in a tweet Tuesday night.
"It's essential that other countries can depend on the fact that our ports are available and functioning properly to get product to market," said Brad Dubeau, general manager of Alberta Beef Producers. "We have our busiest season coming up. We're just coming into the back-to-school season, followed by the holiday season. So we are bulking up. And if our manufacturers don't have the resources they need, it'll end up costing us," said Connor Curran, co-founder of Local Laundry.
"We can't have trade disruptions largest port in Canada, you know, most diversified port in terms of cargo in North America. This doesn't just affect Canada, it affects North America," Yedlin said.
