Is Canada's economy at risk from banning unvaccinated American truck drivers?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

Truck drivers in the United States who have not been vaccinated are barred from crossing the border into Canada, a policy that the American road transport industry says will make freight rates more expensive. It comes at a time when there is a shortage of truck drivers. Russell Padmore examines the issues on both sides of the border in this extended report.
