So the rail workers for the CN and CP, two of the biggest rail lines up in Canada, they also dipped down to the U.S. Their workers have been threatening a strike. They've been negotiating. And from what I understand, this isn't a pay strike. This is like a safety and you can't force relocate us and things like that. And so the union has been saying, no, you need to come to us.

You need to come to us. And the rail line, of course, is saying we're not going to do it. And finally, as of midnight, would have been Wednesday night, Thursday morning, official strike, official work stoppage.
