I think it’s pretty well guaranteed that there will be shipping delays. A lot of our goods arrive on the west coast and then get delivered by truck/rail and there are currently no functioning roadways into or out of Vancouver.

Edit: all the rail lines are also out of service (article doesn’t say for how long) so the only way to get goods out of the Port of Vancouver currently would be through the states (and things aren’t looking so good there either).
