🚨 Support Local, Support Stability: Twin Port Shutdowns & the Impact on Canadian Small Businesses 🚨 Canada’s largest ports in Vancouver and Montreal are shut down, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time for our local businesses. For many, this season is critical for achieving the profits that sustain them into the next year. Small businesses are hit the hardest, as delays add up and sales falter when they should be flourishing. As the Financial Post recently reported, “we are effectively advertising to the world that Canada is closed for business” — and that’s a risk our local businesses simply cannot afford. Quick Stats: 💰 Disruptions are estimated at over $1 billion per day in stalled goods. 🔗 The ripple effect impacts every Canadian industry relying on imports and exports to keep things moving. 🌎 The twin port shutdowns also hurt Canada’s reliability as a trade partner, especially at a time when competition from U.S. ports is stronger than ever. These ongoing delays aren’t just an inconvenience — they’re an urgent reminder to support our Canadian small businesses, keeping our money local and helping our communities thrive. With businesses facing unique challenges in sustaining themselves, every local purchase counts. 💬 How You Can Help: ✅ Shop local to support Canadian businesses directly impacted by these disruptions. ✅ Share and spread the word, so more people are aware of the critical need to support our economy. ✅ Comment below with how you’re helping local businesses or how your business is preparing for this shift. Together, we can help protect our community businesses and keep Canadian dollars where they belong — right here at home! 💙 #SupportLocal #SmallBusinessCanada #CanadianEconomy #SupplyChain https://lnkd.in/eirQTS4k
