Worries build over economic impact of Alberta border blockade

By WNews 1 Min Read

Alberta retailers and manufacturers are growing increasingly frustrated with protestors blocking an essential border crossing into the United States, warning that it’s interrupting critical supply chains affecting both groceries and equipment.

“We’re extremely frustrated,” said John Graham, director of government relations for the Retail Council of Canada, which represents  many grocery stores across the province.

“We’ve called on both the provincial government, the federal government [and] have communicated directly with RCMP as well, asking that they take more aggressive action to reopen smooth passage at that border.”

The comments came as the truck blockade entered its fifth day at Coutts, Alta.
