Jazon Gatela says he has had no problem finding customers, but he has faced challenges getting products.
"I found a passion to sell some of the stuff that people are interested in," said Gatela. "They're going back to their childhood memories."His store has been open for nearly two years and has been plagued by global supply chain issues from the start. Last spring, he pre-sold paddle boards to customers wanting to use them in the summer. Despite it now being November, some still haven't arrived, forcing Gatela to issue refunds and deal with frustrated customers.
Gatela says most of his product, especially electronics, comes from overseas and that's where the delays start. He says wholesalers are encouraging retailers to place bigger, single orders rather than smaller ones every few months, given the delays.

Stephen Harper's global director Shuvaloy Majumdar said to be eyeing coveted Calgary Heritage seatShuvaloy Majumdar, a former senior Conservative ministerial staffer who now works for Stephen Harper’s high-profile international consulting firm Harper & Associates, is testing the waters to run in the true-blue Conservative riding of Calgary Heritage, Alta. In the past, former prime minister Harper and Preston Manning, former leader of the now defunct Reform Party, have both represented the safe Conservative seat. Majumdar, who worked as a policy adviser to then-foreign affairs minister John Baird from 2011 to 2015, did not return calls from The Hill Times. Garry Keller, former chief of staff to Baird, confirmed that Majumdar is seriously considering a run for the nomination. “He has to talk to people in Calgary and people in the Conservative movement in Calgary,” said Keller, vice-president of Strategy Corp., in an interview with The Hill Times. “In order to be a successful nomination candidate, you have to do the heavy-lifting ahead of time, the behind-the-scenes talking to people before making a decision officially one way or another.” Keller said last week that Majumdar was in the process of doing his due diligence and consulting people in the riding and other senior Conservatives outside the riding. Keller said he has also had some conversations with his former colleague. Shuvaloy Majumdar served as policy director to former foreign affairs minister John Baird, pictured, from 2011 to 2015.

That’s what it’s all about in any nomination race. And so my advice would be the same to any candidate.” Majumdar has been
