The global supply chain crisis, driven by a scarcity of materials, overseas shipping delays and labour shortages, has not hit all businesses equally.
Take Canadian Tire, for example, which last week said confidently that it shouldn’t have any issues stocking its shelves over the holidays.

Your typical mom-and-pop shop down the road, however, does not have access to Canadian Tire’s network and deep pockets, let alone that of giants like Amazon or Walmart.
