In Canada, shots have been fired at the Port of Vancouver where more then 1,000 truckers have been on strike for nearly a month. While it is unclear if the gunfire was related to the strike, it is symbolic of the tense relations between the truckers, who are seeking fair compensation in the face of rising fuel costs. More then $75-million is being lost each day.
