VANCOUVER — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government will continue putting pressure on both sides to end the British Columbia port strike, as the stoppage drags on for a seventh day.
Trudeau, who's in Calgary, said he's aware of how"impactful" the strike has been on producers in the Prairies.
"But I also know that pressure is mounting day by day and people are really, really worried what things could look like next week, and we are as well," Trudeau said. A statement issued Friday by BC United members Greg Kyllo and Ben Stewart said New Democrat Premier David Eby must call on the federal government to intervene in the job action.
