VANCOUVER — Oh, boy, here we go. Maybe.

Wall Street protesters began blocking gates at ports along the West Coast today, delaying truck traffic.

No major clashes have been reported.

By blocking the ports, Occupy Wall Street protesters hope to disrupt operations that the ports will have to shut down for periods of time, putting a dent in the cash flow of companies like Goldman Sachs — a major stakeholder in port operator SSA Marine and grain exporter EGT.

In addition to trying to sack Goldman and other companies, demonstrators say they are standing up for workers against the port companies.

Demonstrators briefly blocked two gates at Port Metro Vancouver this morning, holding up large banners proclaiming solidarity with Longshore union members at the Port of Longview, Wash.

They allowed workers to enter, but blocked trucks and other traffic, causing longer waits for some drivers.

Media reports say the disruption lasted for an hour before the protest moved to another gate, blocking it for less than 30 minutes.

"The Port of Vancouver trades 75 billion in goods annually, and generates 10.5 billion in GDP," says a post on Occupy Vancouver’s website. "It is the largest port in Canada, and the fifth largest in North America. Who benefits from our port’s traffic? We all do…but not equally."

They hope to draw thousands from the community to garner support, but Murray Scadeng, chair of the B.C. Trucking Association, told the CBC that the protest is missing the mark.

"The impact to truck drivers who are generally owners-operators accessing the port would certainly be part of the 99 per cent that they purport to represent, and they will immediately lose money," he said.

"They’re generally self-employed, so any day lost affects them immediately."
