Everybody, Peter Zion here coming to you from Grand Rapids, Michigan. And the story today on the 23rd of October is that yesterday, a Canadian public service Union by the name of Unifor, announced a strike on the St. Lawrence Seaway. And there’s a bunch of things that come from this. Number one, what the Seaway is, it is a system of locks, I think 14 that connect the western Great Lakes to the St. Lawrence Seaway itself, which goes out to the Atlantic Ocean, it is the primary artery for getting cargo from the interior of the continent, as well as from all of Ontario and Quebec, out to the Atlantic Ocean. Basically, without the Seaway you can’t go up river beyond Quebec City. And so you’re talking about the bulk of the industrial base of Canada being affected by this. In addition, the Seaway is part of what allows the Erie Canal to work, which allows the New York area to access to the interior of the continent as well. So as long as it’s offline, what is traditionally the primary and cheapest method of moving cargo in and out of interior Canada is offline. And it complicates things for the United States as well. We’re gonna see a lot more stuff like this coming forward. One of the things that’s going on right now in North America is that we are experiencing protracted population decline, because we’ve had low birth rates for 40 years. Now, it’s not nearly as advanced as it is in places like Northeast Asia or Europe, but it’s still a factor. And in the United States, specifically, in calendar year 2022, the difference between the retirees who are aging to 65, and the people coming into the workforce who are aging into a team was just under half a million worker shortage just in this calendar year. And that number is going to continue to be negative for a minimum of the next 20. In fact, it’s just going to go up and up and up for at least the next 11. Because the people have already been born, we know exactly what the inflow into the labor market is for the next decade or two. Two decades. Yeah. Anyway, so that’s kind of the first problem. The second problem is there’s not a good alternative for the Canadians, courtesy of something called the Jones Act, you really can’t use the American waterway network. It prevents any cargo from being transported through the American system, unless it’s using a ship that is American built owned captain and crude, which by definition eliminates pretty much everything that comes from Canada. So we’re going to be seeing a lot of stress in the Canadian system and a lot of stress, especially in grains. A lot of interior Canada, the only way to get to the wider world is to use the Seaway the only alternative is to use rail Natto, a place like the Quad Cities in Iowa, or all the way to New Orleans, which is, you know, technically possible, but a lot more expensive. Anyway, because of the worker shortage, we’re going to be seeing activities like this over and over and over again. In the United States, we’re having issues with the United Auto Workers in places like Detroit right now where they’re on strike. And the folks up in Canada are thinking they should be able to get at least as much out of their operators as the strikers are aiming for. And so the other is a 30 to a 40% wage increase to be phased in over three years. But not saying that they’re not worth it. I don’t know what I am saying that, isn’t it an environment where labor is ever more scarce in North America, you should expect to see more and more and more industrial labor action at all levels. And this is just part of the environment now. So you best get used to it. And if you’re an employee, you’re your best build as positive relationship with your workers as you possibly can. Because they have become something that we’re not used to thinking of workers in North America as a scarce resource. And they’re going to be priced accordingly. All right.
