AmericanHort and other organizations from the agricultural industry that heavily rely on freight rail services from Canadian National Railway Company and CPKC sent a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada expressing serious concern over potential rail disruptions due to a possible strike or lockout. A rail stoppage would lead to significant shutdowns of facilities dependent on rail, severely impacting agricultural producers and supply chains in both Canada and the U.S. The disruption could result in lost shipments, increased costs, and higher consumer prices, particularly affecting bulk commodity exporters and facilities with limited transportation alternatives. The letter urges swift governmental intervention to avoid this scenario.
