Canfor ( OTCPK:CFPZF ) is Wednesday's biggest loser on the S&P/TSX Composite Index, -4.6% after the British Columbia port strike resumed following the union's rejection of a tentative deal reached last week.
The dispute had forced Canfor ( OTCPK:CFPZF ) to curtail its Northwood Pulp Mill in Prince George, citing limited storage space for pulp products that could be transported overseas; with news of the tentative labor agreement, Canfor said on July 13 it would resume operations at Northwood.
