Domestically, 90 percent of all consumer goods move by trucks and close to 70 percent of Canada-US trade \u2013 representing over $700 billion dollars \u2013 is moved by the Canadian trucking industry.<\/p>\n<p>Many trucking movements begin or end at the rail head. The supply chain is not only integrated from a supplier perspective, it\u2019s integrated modally as well. When the railways suffer disruption in service, it impacts everyone in the economy including the trucking industry. When bridges and roads are blocked, trade stops and other modes and business sectors which depend on trucking services are negatively impacted. The Canadian economy overall depends on a reliable and fully-functioning supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>CTA supports the Government of Canada\u2019s position the blockades need to end peacefully and quickly and echoes the government\u2019s sentiments that while freedom of expression is an important democratic right, such activities must respect court decisions and the law.<\/p>\n<p>During this resolution process lead by the Government of Canada, CTA is calling on all levels of government, bridge operators,\u00a0law enforcement\u00a0and members\u00a0to share any intelligence with CTA regarding the location and potential location of future blockades. Such information would be shared with members.<\/p>\n<p>Any verifiable information pertaining to upcoming blockades should be directed to\u00a0<a>OTAcommunications@ontruck.org<\/a>\u00a0with \u2018Blockades\u2019 in the subject line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 5,000 members of the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) form the backbone of the domestic and international supply chain.
