Dispatches from the Maple Gulag Truck Stop
Today’s ruling by SCOTUS on freight brokers being held responsible to vet carriers has been welcomed by many, including myself, as a much needed change to hold everyone with freight shipments responsible for safety. Others see it as the end of the small carrier.
Back in Oct of 2025 Craig Fuller compared the 100,000 truck crashes in America everyday to a plane crash everyday and asked why we accept it?
“These statistics translate to a disturbing reality: the odds of being killed by a commercial truck are approximately 20 times greater than dying in a commercial airline crash. If we had a commercial airplane crash every single day in the United States, the public would be outraged and there would be immediate federal intervention. Yet, we see the equivalent in highway fatalities from truck crashes, and it barely makes the evening news.” – The Growing Problem of CDL mills Oct 25th 2025

One of the last jobs I worked in the oil industry was hauling bitumen from Conklin, AB. Before I could go on site I needed fire retardant rain gear, steel toed muck boots, and a full face shield, all gear I have not specifically required before, other than the face shield. This gear was over $1,000 and rates for this run were low, hence it my oil hauling soon ended. When I arrived for my site orientation I asked why I needed FR rain gear and boots, this is what I was told:
“You probably won’t need it. We have drivers coming up here who barely speak English and this is their first trucking job, there are 2 or 3 spills a day when the drivers disconnect the oil hose before they close the valve. They cover their truck and themselves with oil. We have to clean them up before they can leave site. If they are wearing rain gear they can just peel it off and leave.” Bitumen is 70 to 90 degrees celsius.
Even in the Alberta oil patch where people make there fortune everyday, there is still absolute disregard for human life in the pursuit of cheaper freight rates.
Today’s 9-0 ruling by SCOTUS holds everyone involved responsible for safety, they can no longer ignore the plane crash everyday or peel off the rain gear to drive home. Now it is on them as well. I can only hope a smilar ruling is on the horizon in Canada.

Is Our Diversities Learing?
Nites Ov De Rod
[Shipping brokers] are the clearinghouse for moving freight. When there is a container to pick up, in most instances, that request goes to a broker to find a freight line or company to come get the shipping container. Sometimes people get confused that trucking companies own the semi-trailers, and in most cases, they do not. […]
Up to today, trucking companies bore the liability for anything that happened with their vehicle or driver during. Brokers had always claimed immunity from any liability as they were a step removed from ownership. All they did was scheduling – pick up a phone and schedule with Company A or B to get a load from here to there. There were ways to know if said company was in full compliance with DoT regulations, had safety violations, and had paid their insurance bill, but zero impetus for a broker to check.
The trucking company was just another name in the book, willing to deliver for the price quoted.
A unanimous decision from the Supreme Court today has changed that dynamic and sent a seismic shock through the entire trucking industry.
“…an extinction event for 30-50% of all freight brokers.”

China Is Asshole
The verdict delivers the first American conviction in what investigators and prosecutors describe as a sprawling global infrastructure operated by Beijing to monitor, intimidate and silence Chinese nationals living abroad — a network that researchers have documented across North America, Europe and beyond.
According to prosecutors, Lu and co-defendant Chen Jinping established the Chinatown outpost in 2022 after Lu attended a ceremony in his native Fujian province where China’s Ministry of Public Security announced it was opening 30 such secret police stations around the world. The station was open for less than nine months — opening in mid-February 2022 and closing October 3, 2022. In September 2022, the non-governmental organization Safeguard Defenders published a report on the 30 overseas Chinese police service stations operating around the world; the FBI saw the report and took action.
A banner displayed to jurors during the weeklong trial in Brooklyn federal court carried text that left little ambiguity about the site’s function: “Fuzhou Police Overseas Service Station, New York USA.” […]
Among the most significant evidence presented was testimony from an FBI computer analyst who recovered data from Lu’s deleted files. What that data revealed went well beyond a single Manhattan storefront. The deleted files contained WeChat groups drawing members from overseas police-service stations across multiple countries, and plans for Chinese technicians to install a Huawei cloud system connecting the New York operation directly to the Fuzhou Public Security Bureau — within an overseas police-station architecture that also encompassed Toronto, Spain, France and the Netherlands.

Stiff Upper Elbows, Mate
Canada’s auto industry, based largely in Ontario, could disappear by 2040 unless the country regains duty-free access to the U.S. market or finds other ways to keep the sector afloat, one of Canada’s biggest banks warns.
At an industry conference in Toronto focused on the auto sector’s future, RBC Thought Leadership managing director Jordan Brennan said industry leaders and governments must do what they can to avoid the worst-case scenario.
“It’s the scenario where Canada is being heavily tariffed, customs are unviable, and export economics are dead. What does that look like in practice? Governments have to subsidize the industry to the point where it becomes politically unpeaceful,” Brennan said.
Today In The Vote Rich Rapey-Beheader Community
The children are our future and that’s why you’ll better figure out which direction is Mecca;
11 teachers in Canada of “North African” descent who were teaching “Islamist religious concepts” to elementary school children have been fired.
The teachers allegedly made the students pray in class, and physically & psychologically abused them.
“I find it appalling what was done to young girls. I find it appalling that we didn’t provide all the necessary services to students who were vulnerable…. Their (licenses) were permanently revoked? Perfect,” said Michelle Setlakwe, member of the National Assembly of Quebec.
According to an investigation, the “North African” teachers were influenced by a local mosque. They subjected the kids to “physical and psychological abuse.”
CBC uses a lot of words to avoid saying “Bedford school devolved into Islamist madrassa because Liberals can’t import themselves enough of the rapey beheader voting block.”

Things You’re Gonna See On The CBC
This is fast becoming a train wreck for the CBC.
The fake production company acting on behalf of CBC, involved in setting up conservative critics, including Lindsay Shepherd and Frances Widdowson, in bogus interviews, attempted to also lure Conservative MP Aaron Gunn with the promise of “reclaiming the legacy of Sir John A Macdonald.”
Internal correspondence from Gunn’s office shows staff were told the project was being prepared for CBC, which was allegedly “under pressure to provide a balanced view surrounding John A. Macdonald.
Two producers, using the aliases “Olivia Goldman” of “Nova Frame Productions” and “Pam Gibson” of “Forge Media,” repeatedly portrayed the project as an effort to “reclaim” Macdonald’s legacy, defend Canadian heritage and provide a national platform for conservatives who felt censored or demonized for challenging prevailing reconciliation narratives. Pam Gibson was later identified as Molly Gore, an American producer who has worked on left-wing ecosocialist documentaries.
The newly uncovered email chain shows the operation spent months cultivating trust with conservative organizers, video producers and eventually Gunn’s parliamentary office by carefully mirroring conservative concerns about free speech, Indigenous land disputes and attacks on Canada’s founder.
