US-Canada supply chains hit severely by heavy floods
Al Jazeera, 21 Nov 2021
Supply chains in western Canada and the US are taking a hit because of heavy flooding.
It has prompted the Canadian province of British Columbia to impose restrictions on fuel.
Highways and railway tracks have been submerged by floodwaters.
A 20-car freight train was derailed in the US border town of Sumas as floodwaters swept the tracks beneath it.
The rail line is a major artery for goods between the two countries and may not be back in action for some time.
