A labor dispute has halted the export of canola oil and forestry products from Canadian West Coast ports, affecting revenues by approximately C$4 million daily. The conflict began with a limited strike by longshore foremen, leading to a lockout by the B.C. Maritime Employers Association. While bulk grain shipments continue, canola oil shipments are not being loaded. Industry leaders are urging government intervention to resolve the dispute, as Canada relies heavily on these exports.
