Canada's largest port by far, the port of Vancouver, has closed, as have the rails and highways connecting it to Canada, after being severely damaged in the flooding in an "atmospheric river" event. The deep water port is responsible for 1/3 of Canadian imports and exports, meaning the grains that the world so badly needs from Canada are not able to get out. And the overflow of goods from other congested North American ports are now wholly unable to get in. Christian explains why this is not just a local catastrophe, but a worldwide one.
(From comments)Thank you, Christian, for bringing this to everyone's attention - i live in Chilliwack which is literally in the middle of this mess with landslides on two highways heading east and the massive flood on Hwy 1 heading west, we are hemmed in by mountains to the north and south of us so yes we have some major problems now. Today i went to four gas stations and they were empty, and our grocery stores have one to two hour line ups if you are lucky to find the food you need on the shelves. Anyway, take care of yourselves , your family and your neighbours and i hope everyone out there will pray for us!
