I wonder what the correlation between increased truck traffic and deaths is since the abandoning and less use of rail service. Would be interesting.
Let's face it our saskatxhewan roads are a disaster and we have highest death rate by far.

Well Dylan, I think you're full of it.
On railroad industry, can move freight, people on one seventh of the fuel, safer, and with what? maybe one thousandth of the employees.
So there is the problem. The trucking industry employs so many people and without it how do these people selling installing repairing etc make a living, all paid for by the consumer.
Not to mention air travel across Canada, especially the prairies, quicker and cheaper by rail as in Europe.
And no excuse for unqualified big rig drivers who bypass proper training.

"Calgary driving school charged with fraud"

Looks like the ones in Toronto are not unique.

Dylan, That’s precisely the issue here, I guarantee you that there is a segment of new professional drivers that don’t play by the same rules as you and I. They have no respect for the brotherhood of professional drivers. They bend and break those same laws and regulations everyday with a blatant disregard for the lives of others. In this case, many people have drove that same road at 5pm and said the sun is not factor at all at this time of year. I don’t think it is ever too soon for the driver of the semi and his owner to step up and take responsibility for the lives they have cost here, and yes I have no sympathy for the fact that he can’t run his business anymore. Instead the driver has possibly fled the country and the I believe the RCMP is reluctant to bring light to the fact that many illegal and unskilled drivers are running rampant in the industry.

How many more young lives would you need to see lost before you think something needs to change? It sounds to me like you are one of folks that feels there are no winners and losers and where there is no consequence for ones actions...Just like in school now where nobody can fail a grade anymore. I am more old school where when I screw up, I take responsibility for the decisions I have made....that was not done here and it sickens me.

Because I said we should let these people bury the dead before we start talking politics and how rules should be changed? I asked for respect for the families and now you're saying I don't want consequences? Do you even know how to read? You seem like one of those people who make up your mind and then outright refuse to listen to anything else. Such a sad life

[Dylan]

Dylan - Thanks for your thoughts.

Do you have any for this young lady who sought to outright politicize this tragedy? (sorry, I can't do screen shots so just copied and pasted her tweet)

I'm trying to not get cynical about what is a totally devastating tragedy but the maleness, the youthfulness and the whiteness of the victims are, of course, playing a significant role.

I've seen this on twitter, yes. Nora Loreto is so far left that the left won't even accept her. She's a perfect example of internalized racism, and frankly not even worth giving the time of day. She used this tragedy as a way of gaining followers on twitter and is now playing the victim due to the very large amount of backlash she's receiving on social media. I had heard very little of her before this, and once this incident blows over, I'm sure she'll crawl back in to her hole and if we're lucky, we won't here of her again.

2 years ago we had a bad accident a mile from our farm. Local contractor shaving corners hired India crew from southern Alberta. My sons came on the seen and nobody around. Passenger side of the Pete and passenger seat was striped off of truck and rolled into a ball in the ditch. Was hit from behind by his buddy in another gravel enddump outfit. That truck was gone. 100 yard visibility fog conditions at 7 in the morning in August. India crew showed up and were going to try and get the truck out of there. Boys had called cops and they showed up right away. No plates on truck nor on the driver. Local sargeant called my boys after and told them to stay a long way away from this crew. Bad news everywhere they go. Told another of their tricks is a lot have the same name, one guy gets the license and 10 guys get a copy of it. Another is a driver trainer who had a group of 10 show up, one guy is the talker and was telling the trainer how things would work and how things would be done. He told them to turn around and get the **** out. They just go find the next guy who will work With them. And yes Dylan, it is time to talk about it, they are counting on the likes of you to help take the light off this problem.

I never said it shouldn't be talked about, did I? I said at least let the people be laid to rest
FIRST. You know....out of respect!

I feel sorry for the people in the yard . I wonder if anyone thought about how they feel when they read the comments about the trees , and apparently the news media has been hounding the shit out of them . like travis ,said trees are a non issue you can see as far south and north as your eyes will let you . and apparently the people in that yard found enough blankets in a few minutes for every one that needed them . stripped their own beds and everything . let's just quit beating around the bush . everyone knows what happened at that intersection . I wonder why the news media doesn't hound the truck driver like they are the people in that yard and people paying their respects at the site ?
a good news story I heard on Saturday was that a young man from carrot river that was at the scene raised money for the people in the yard to replace blankets , sheets ,quilts , etc. . what a fine young person to do this on his own ! hats off to the people living in that yard for doing what they could

Not much said because the driver isn't white. There I said it. It's what I think everyone wants to say but fk it already.

Some of the blame goes all the way back to the system of getting immigrants over here to fill jobs any way they can. In a way it may be more that fault than re drivers as he most likely never should have had a license in the first place.

Our immigration is a shit show. We re paying for it in so many obvious ways.
