Why The Globe began investigating the intersection between trucking companies and the immigration systemThe question that needs to be asked is: Why do we allow a system where a consultant can charge someone who wants to come to Canada $30,000 to 50,000 as a “fee," splitting half with the trucking company? I believe that this is called fraud. This is a federal responsibility and needs to be addressed.
When I was a kid, and later when going for my own driver’s licence, truckers were held up as the safest drivers on the road. Whatever has happened since then, that is far from true now. Speeds are too high, time pressure too unreasonable, courtesy gone.
Fine, but what about the “safety and welfare” of the general public using the roads that have become extremely hazardous due to these unqualified and inexperienced truck drivers?Finally, this is just another unintended consequence of what happens when government interferes in the market, in this case applying the Temporary Foreign Worker Program to regular workers, as opposed to unique or scarce specialists, where it makes sense in one-off conditions.
Consider everything you consume is delivered by truck and you get the idea how far reaching the problem becomes. Migrant farm workers are another example: Everybody eats, but what happens when food prices skyrocket? Governments fall.This is an investigation of the trucking industry. The story, however, is about avarice. I should have been shocked by the results of this investigation. I was saddened, but not even surprised.

Maybe just maybe.. dont be given ppl there Az the next day after moving to canada..
Well, don't put Conservatives in charge, because when you do, economics always take priority over lives. As it did recently, in Alberta, where Jason Kenney is proposing the elimination of regulation put in place after the Humboldt bus crash.
