How do we change things, not just "fix" them industry wide?

Long-time member, reader, observer...
Worked dispatch, warehouse, shunt, heavy quip...
From Challenger/BLM docks to warehousing in Brampton, Hamilton...I have been at it since 2009.
I have observed, read, and had ridiculous amounts of conversations about the "changes" in the industry, the frustrations, the bad, the ugly, and the uglier.
Seems like the 90s and early 2000s were the sweet spots for dry, reefer, LTL.
Common issues seem to be electronics in trucks, DFL, bad quality rigs from all the manufacturers, low pay, hostile everything from people that are not drivers, racism, HOS, lack of truck stops...
The main/biggest one the last 8 years running though...best summed up by a guy I met in Woodstock..." they've made trucking the new farming and in farming only a select few make money and now the citizens who've lived here forever are no longer involved unless they own the place (most don't own anything because corporations do), so what do you think will happen with trucking with all the new supposed to be temporary foreign works coming here, some bypassing laws and totally destroying the industry with back home antics, bad cultural habits and lack of integration? When the citizens here no longer understand or want anything to do with the industry what do you think it will look like say 10 years from now, better?" The guy went on to say that the world is too politically correct and we are too passive here in Canada to do anything to correct course.
I admired this industry since I was a kid. Grandfather, Father, Uncles, all drivers O/O and made a great living until the financial crisis...now I've watched people who used to make a decent living struggle.
So the question is how do we Canadians fix it? Seriously?
Not looking to start an immigration dump on fest (note - I immigrated here when I was 8 but I can tell you with absolute certainty it was not under the paltry low qualification requirements of today) and I'm not looking to just complain in a forum and move on...seriously want to get some bearings and go after it!
Looking for insight, opinions, vision, and serious statements on what should be considered to change things. Someone will inevitably bring up the freedom convoy, I will say this, they had the right idea (protest, shut things down) but they did not involve the community and had this aura of arrogance. That was a sure-fire way to make money from the fringe and piss off those who you needed to support your cause.
No idea if this is violating anything, NOT my intention, just wanted a healthy discussion on What needs to be done to fix the industry? Ban or limit temporary foreign workers? cut funding to companies that hire more temporary foreign workers than citizens? Rig-only lanes? No driver-facing cameras? Hybrid trucks? Nationalize diesel so the price is the same across the country? Ban freight brokers with a certain amount of verified complaints? Stop lease-to-own programs? Is one part to require fewer lawyers who have never been involved in transportation, let alone trucking, and shipping to hold transportation decision-making government jobs? A labor union for drivers? A national strike for a few days?
Thanks for your insights in advance. Really hoping there is engagement around a vision of what could actually change things.

 

You don't think it will be a matter of time before those good hourly jobs see the same issues as trucking?
What do you see as the biggest factor affecting the state of trucking right now?
Appreciate your reply.
