Jean-François Bergeron, general manager of Quebec City propane supplier Capital Propane, said the company is left with a seven-day propane supply, and it’s running out of solutions. “There are none, there are no other options for us,” he said.
Its last shipment of propane came in on Monday by truck from Sarnia, Ont., but Bergeron said there aren’t enough trucks left for their next shipment. Compared to the Canadian National Railway Co. workers’ strikes in November, which resulted in rail transport being suspended for a week, Bergeron said this situation is “much worse.
A Nova Scotia propane distributor is warning customers to conserve their fuel usage and plan for alternate sources of heating and cooking because of a supply disruption caused by Indigenous rail blockades across Canada.
