An update from a piece I wrote in 2024; 2025 has shown the problem to be so much worse, and unless action is taken now in 2026, it will get worse still.
Keep reading about "more training, more training", but maybe the problem isn't training, maybe it's cultural attitudes. We all know accident rates are crazy worse in other countries.
The Carney gov't is now introducing a new transportation category for permanent residents, this means more of the same.
I am out on the 401 everyday, and everyday I see Indian trucks, engines turned up, doing a buck fifteen, tailgating other trucks and cars, regardless of weather.
How many times has my commute home been turned into a two hour slog after one of these illiterates shuts down the 401 due to snowy conditions and their complete lack of moral behaviour?
People I knew personally have been killed by these drivers.
How many Canadians must die in the name of GDP? Look to your political parties, there is no answer.
Compounding what should be an easy solution - just get rid of these people, all of them, are those political positions. Given the nature of the Canadian political system, one that is designed to aide and abet the worst, and to resist any kind of change, and given that these people are here solely to fleece the country, they will fight tooth and nail in Parliament to stay in Canada.
It's very difficult to get anything positive done in Canada. The system is designed that way. Still, there might be ways to make some sort of change.
Hmn. Elon is still working on self driving trucks. Might be something to look into. I have no idea if large enough batteries can handle big loads though, not my area of expertise but it does amuse to think that self driving trucks would make some impact. Mind you, jeets would love self driving trucks, they'd still load contraband in, so we'd have to get rid of them first. Say we did, then we have the problem of an entire industry of American workers suddenly phased out. Okay, now I'm more depressed, gee thanks.
Kidding. Long and very informative article. Insanely good work.
