The trucking industry has been flooded with "immigrants", legal and illegal, and our own government passed out loans and grants for foreigners to 'start businesses", and THIS is what they gets us! You can talk to anyone that works in trucking, works at truck stops, or deals with them on the regular, and they will say the same thing. Many don't really have an earned CDL, they are just issued them, based upon truth or lies, about being "truckers" in their home country. Which means that some guy that may have been driving around town delivering bottled water in Uzbekistan, is now driving an 18 wheeler across America, not even able to read the road signs.
I sent my son a car, and the driver that picked it up, had to use a translator program on his phone to communicate with me, and that was two years ago.
There is going to be more of this, until we do something to fix it! i.e. deport these people, or for the legal ones, actually make them get a real CDL after being trained!
Time was, driving the two lane blacktop or even oiled gravel in the far North, meeting a big rig going the other way, he’d flash his lights to warn you of a speed trap ahead, and you’d wave in thanks, or even chat him up on the old CB radio. Now, I see a big rig coming my way, I am white knuckled on the wheel and hoping he stays in his own lane. Things have changed.
Oh, well. Just keep handing out those crackerjack-box-prize licenses. I do flagging for a local tow outfit that specializes in semis, and I make really good money every time we go out on a wreck.
My boss said once that "it seems like half of the drivers are named Singh."
Great article,though heartbreaking and rage inducing. The numbers of “ethnically diverse” drivers behind the wheel of gravel trucks here in Alberta,everywhere for that matter is sickening. The trucks are un maintained the driver’s speak little if any English. Rolling stops are the norm since full stops usually lead to a stalled rig in an intersection. The local county is providing land just east of YEG airport to build a driver training facility and it scares the shit out of me. I have so many buddies who have got out of the seat because they don’t know if the next trip will be their last.
Keep spreading the word on just how bad this situation is!
Yes even after all the children dying in Humboldt crash by another “Singh” they supposedly started ensuring “safety” closed all the illegal driving schools but then decided who cares if people die? So they reopened all the driving schools and there’s more now than ever! Terrifying
It's not ONLY the trucking companies using unvetted foreign labour in Canada.
It's EVERY business.
Unfortunately: Driver's (and pilots and such...) can become deadly weapons.
Poker dealers not so much but you get my point.
Canadian workers have been replaced.
Just ask Jeremy McKenzie what he thinks of all this. Maybe interview him.
He has a special point of view.
My sister was just here: Her son was laid off a month ago. New American "tariffs" will destroy the business which employed him. (So there's that too...)
As Jeremy pointed out: Canada's heart and soul were stomped under the horseshoes of RCMP Clydesdales in February of '22.
Me? I just wanted to be allowed OUTTA here via land sea or air...
"Court records indicate that Araya was initially held in the Travis County Jail on a $1.2 million bond. However, the bond amount for each charge was reduced to $1,000 on Tuesday.
CBS Austin reported in early April that Araya’s toxicology report after the crash revealed no alcohol or drugs in his system. As a result, Araya’s attorney filed a motion to lower his bond amount."
Seems the man was fatigued quite a bit, which makes you as bad a driver as being drunk.
I guess being an abused migrant or a migrant abusing the rules doesn’t matter much to the dead; either way he shouldn’t have been here nor behind the wheel of that truck.

All I could think of while I was reading this was that our new Transport Minister in Canada is Chrystia Freeland.
Canada did something evil in a past life.

Biden admin staffers asked themselves every day, how can we ensure that these filthy goyim never feel at home in their own country again?
