WATCH: Inside the trucker training scandal
On the latest episode of ‘Not “Sorry”’ host Alexander Brown peels back the curtain on how our roads are increasingly dangerous because of disreputable practices within the trucking business.
On the latest episode of ‘Not “Sorry”’ host Alexander Brown peels back the curtain on a crisis that has been barreling down the highway for too long: the dangerous, mass-immigration-connected, fraud-riddled state of the modern trucking industry, and its impacts on Canada.
Millions have now seen the latest incident south of the border, where Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant to the United States, who had failed key language and road sign tests, committed an illegal U-turn, leading to three fatalities.
And we all remember the Humboldt Broncos tragedy in 2018, where Jaskirat Singh Sidhu had racked up 70 violations before the crash, over just 11 days, serving as a stark reminder of what happens when drivers who should never be on the road are allowed to operate.

In this week’s episode, host Alexander Brown is joined by veteran trucker, author, and commentator Gord Magill to get an inside look on what has been happening to the business of trucking in recent years. As Magill explains, an industry has emerged on both sides of the border which sees unprepared drivers, often using exploited immigrant labour, unleashed on our roads.
With the stakes from this growing policy failure amounting to life or death, it’s time we confront the systemic failures that allow such tragedies to occur.
It’s an episode that anyone who uses our roads needs to watch.
Alexander Brown is the Director of Communications & Campaigns for the National Citizens Coalition (NCC). Every week, Brown hosts ‘Not “Sorry’” exclusively on Juno News.
All East Indian trucking companies operating in Canada should be shutdown immediately. DOT, Immigration and CBSA need to held accountable for thieve failures.
This needs to be addressed ASAP. Thanks for writing about this and having Gord Magill on to talk about this. Totally not surprised that Buttegieg and Biden, rather than fix a problem made it worse in the USA. But Canada's gov't is also to blame from immigration on down to regulation of this industry. Truckers NEED to speak our language.
