Juno News - Alexander Brown peels back the curtain on a crisis that has been barreling down the highway

00:00:00.000 We speak uncomfortable truths. We cut to the heart of the matter because this is a moment for change.

00:00:07.120 And we've all seen and felt what's going on in our roads. And we can all tell that something

00:00:14.500 has gone wrong. It is connected to immigration. We're seeing massive impacts on our trucking

00:00:19.580 industry, as many of you have likely seen, that terrible accident in the United States

00:00:25.300 down in Florida. And take a look at a clip.

00:00:30.000 and since this shocking footage has come out the u.s government has moved to to crack down on on

00:00:55.200 these on these visas this man entered illegally even through a recruiting process to even enter

00:01:02.960 illegally which shows you the the depth of the rot in the industry now today and canada needs

00:01:10.480 something similar because we are giving out you know it's an extension of our temporary foreign

00:01:15.600 worker program these lmia's are are going to truckers many of whom then don't pass the requisite

00:01:24.080 safety inspections and get away with it, who don't speak the language and understand the

00:01:29.180 road signs and get away with it. And there are conversations and actions the Americans are

00:01:35.120 taking now that Canada should too. I've referenced this recently in a tweet that I feel like the

00:01:44.360 Canadian public isn't entirely aware of when the terrible, humble Broncos tragedy happened in 2018.

00:01:50.420 that driver had 70 offenses in 11 days they were supposed to be off the road and and if they were

00:02:00.260 if if this trucking industry hadn't completely lost its way if we weren't in the early days of

00:02:05.520 our immigration industry completely losing its way you know one of the worst tragedies in the

00:02:12.500 history of this country could have been prevented jamie sarconic of the national post is is speaking

00:02:17.420 well about this issue too. This is a moment to bring these matters to light.
