    Same problem, different ethnicity of drivers. Old news is new news I guess.

    Yeah, that's true enough. A few years ago it was Russian and Ukrainian drivers. Before that it was Iraqi and Iranian drivers. Before that North Asian drivers. Eventually they'll work their way back to the black and white drivers.

    "An estimated 60 per cent of Ontario's long-haul truck drivers are Indo-Canadian, making them logical targets for drug traffickers." What kw9's rock said.

    Easy money, hard time. I'll never figure how people think it's worth the risk.

    Sounds like they do a heck of a job concealing it though if they're making it past the dogs and the vacis.

    This is an older thread I saw and after a some research I realized that the posted online A.I. data must be skewed. It says that 16 to 20 per cent of all truckers in Canada are of South Asian descent on the 2022/2023 data. Only 16% to 20%? I refuse to believe this falsified data while everyone knows that 8 out of 10 truckers seen in Ontario, Canada for that matter is from East Indian decent. I can understand the rest of Canada not as much yet when I was sitting at a Flying J in Calgary for a reset they literally ran the Truck stop and most of the drivers I saw parked were not of other cultures.

    As for Accounting for drug smuggling I'd say as of late 90% from what the news has been broadcasting.
