Since September 11, 2001, it has become more expensive to move goods by truck across the Canada-US border, according to a study released by StatsCan on July 24.

The study, “How Much Thicker Is the Canada–U.S. Border? The Cost of Crossing the Border by Truck in the Pre- and Post 9/11 Eras” is based on the first data produced to estimate the costs associated with trucking goods across the border before and after 9/11. In the wake of 9/11, a new security regime was implemented to regulate the movements of goods across the Canada-US border, raising concerns that the cost of moving goods across the border would rise.
