As industry groups predict billions in damages, the rail stoppage could halt the movement of essential goods across Canada and impact U.S. trade significantly.
"It's a catastrophe. Literally nothing would move," said Greg Northey, emphasizing the severe consequences for the pulse crop industry if the railway dispute isn't resolved.
The magnitude of the disruption is daunting, as industries urge the government to intervene, given the $380 billion worth of goods transported annually by rail.
"Factoring in the millions of Canadian jobs that would be impacted, the Business Council of Canada is alarmed by potential lockdowns affecting billions in economic activity."
