Shipping has resumed on the Suez Canal, but global trade woes linked to the COVID-19 pandemic are far from over — and supply chain disruptions may soon hit Canadian consumers if they haven’t already.
The world celebrated on Monday as tugboats dislodged a 400-metre-long container ship that had obstructed the canal for almost a week. But the knock-on impacts on global shipping could take weeks or months to unravel, experts have warned, as the blockage created a backlog of hundreds of vessels waiting in line to transit through the critical waterway, which accounts for around 12 per cent of global trade traffic.
Global’s Anne Gaviola has the story.

Justin’s legacy 🇨🇦📉
Well of course – any excuse to steal more money from us! Like – the 'climate change' scam – if my car backfires here in Canada that will likely set off
a volcano – or earthquake – on the other side of the world – so I'd better pay more carbon tax to compensate! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Who believes this nonsense anymore?
So let's stop selling them our natural resources & go back to manufacturing our own goods, here in Canada…
Wait, is that too beneficial to Canadians for Global & CBC? Thought so. LMFAO.
who cares not me
I mean its expected that when something goes wrong its the poor that pay the price. 100% of the time.
This is why we need to be more self reliant 🙄
So the rich, just get richer. While all the rest of us, pay for it😡😡🖕
When you’re a US lapdog you do as you’re told Canada
And this is how you hide HYPERINFLATION.
No insurance?
We have the second largest landmass, an extremely low population, add in the fact we literally have more resources than we need we should have turned inward as soon as all this buls$hit started.
I could have jacked that ship better.. I could have made these companies billions more
Wave 2 of toilet paper being hoarded 😂
I have been dissalusioned from this consumer based driven society. I suggest you break free and go with out junk. Send a message to the 1% that you won't buy trash anymore
Again with the toilet paper scares? Geez…
list the products that go through that place and we can stop buying from there….
..thats why I eat my fingers and wear the same clothes everyday
when you google <<just for laughs >> and they send you here haha
Are you suggesting that we should buy more toilet papers?!
Your title is missing a couple words near the end… it should end with 'continue to rise' due to true D'oh's incompetence.
Man/MANKIND Shall Not. Nor are We able to
LIVE by Bread Alone. But, By, Through and Throughout ALL That Proceedeth On and ALL Behalves. Once again BEHOLD. Canada and Other Authentic, IN SPIRIT and in TRUTH/Carnal or other wise Guidance and Continued Protection during Redemption to your and The Family of THE World and Beyond 🕯️🕯️🕯️💫🕊️⚓🔐🏔️⏳🕯️🕯️🦋🕯️
Throughout
what do u expect? this planned pandemic screwed everything over.
Build the pipeline!
People aren't going on vacation anymore so they'll be able to afford it.
Hyperinflation incoming .
Again?????????
Just make sure we remember these companies that take advantage of us during difficult times.
That leak is is 100 percent true. You are corrupted
Sure blame the massive government handouts, policies and shutdowns, as the cause of inflation on a ship that got stuck for a couple of days . What malarky.
money printer went brrr… 🤘🏼
This economic crisis is just a time that differentiate the wise from the others. The wise will invest right now either in stock or cryptocurrency just to hold some shares of something.
Sure, Jan. Because Loblaws, every large corporation, and all the banks didn't start strategizing on how to inflate prices, exploit the situation, and abuse the pandemic narrative from minute 1
Keep telling us it's only going to get worse while you sit back and laugh as the dosh rolls in. The world has changed. People have really been through it, so do not think you will remain untouchable. Keep being greedy and keep pushing the line. These are unprecedented times and in case you haven't noticed, regular folks are fed up with myriad forms of oppression. It's only a matter of time before the wealthiest, and most complacent get called up to burn.
THE SUEZ FINANCIAL ECONOMIC SCAM BROUGHT TO YOU BY YOURS TRUELY ..
EVERGREEN…AND COMPANY…
This is a plan-demonic play to keep everyone broke and miserable.
O nothing new there dam thiefs never stop taking .
The price of everything has been going up every since sock boy started increasing taxes 4 times a year under the disguise of climate change.
Then add the carbon tax. On everything. I wonder how long into the future it will take for people to reminisce & remember with fondness being able to afford groceries.
