Dispatches From the Maple Gulag Truck Stop

This past week I was a guest on the Shaun Newman podcast to talk trucking with the legend, Kim Wylie, and Shaun’s dad, Steven Newman.

Gord Magill goes after Trudeau in a way that only an expatriot dares. Gord even found time this week to interview Steve Viscelli.

What would a Canadian debt crisis look like?

And just a reminder, 5 years after Kathy Tomlinson published her award winning investigative report, slavery is still legal in Trudeau’s Canada.

  1. From the slavery link:

    Besides, Ms. Hunking didn’t even know which B.C. carrier Mr. Singh was working for, because no one would tell her. The RCMP denied The Globe and Mail’s request for the name of the driver’s employer. B.C.’s transportation department said it would not release the company’s name because the truck’s licence plate has expired. When pressed again on the name and on whether there was a post-crash investigation into that carrier, media relations person Danielle Pope gave no answer.

    Is there anybody in government who is not in on this? I’m kind of surprised that the RCMP is in on it and is apparently covering for these crimes. But they are feds, so I guess I should not be that surprised.

  2. PM Imbecillus Maximus said today that he will continue to stay focused on Canadians. And I was screaming at TV: THAT’s the problem, you moron! That you continue to stay focused on screwing us over.

  3. What will it take for the government to actually do it’s job when it comes to these fly by night trucking companies?

    Surprisingly, I saw MTO pull a plate from a non-compliant dump truck, and rather than waiting for the tow truck to arrive to impound it, they drove off, and then so did the dump truck.

  4. So somebody went to India and kidnapped this dude and chained him into a truck? Then they convinced him he knew how to drive a truck and he did it knowing he was a public danger? Poor victim.

    1. Yes, the spin the Mop & Pail is trying to put on that is disgusting. Notice that at no point do they talk about the ethnicity of the owners of the fly-by-night trucking companies, who are universally also from the subcontinent.

  5. This should come as no Surprise to ANYONE…that’s driven from Calgary to YVR.
    95%+ are East Indians driving these rigs….Its become a crap shoot.

    All I can say is BC needs to get off its F’ing ASS and finally TWIN Hwy 1. Yes they did a phenomenal on Job on the Golden section…. But come on…its 2024 FFS, get on with it…!!

    Have a BVro in Law that is a trucker in BC…drives via the Coquihalla Hiway (a Hi mountain Freeway that can be downright DEADLY in winter), pretty much yr round…and the stories i hear from him bout East Indians driving in wintertime, that have never seen snow, have no clue what “Chaining up” means & end up disastrously clogging the hi-way cause they simply cant make a 6% Grade…

    Get 2 or 3 in a row too lazy or Too Stupid enough to chain up..?
    The Highway is Virtually closed & becomes a virtual shit show – with no one going anywhere.

  6. It’s not “slavery” if they’re paying to do it. The problem is partially scam employers abusing the immigration process, but the real fundamental issue is people coming here that jump into a truck knowing they’re unqualified. They know they can’t do the job, but they’ll drive anyways. No sympathy for the drivers in the article; they drove down Canadian driver wages, murdered Canadians, and drove up our insurance costs. The complete inability of these drivers to take any personal responsibility indicates their total unsuitability to live here. To hell with everyone that made this happen: the drivers, the companies, and both the federal and provincial governments.
