    It's too late now. The industry is too far gone.

    Yep. 15 years ago. It’s done. A race to the bottom.

    I'm at ground zero. I live in Mississauga and my company's yard is in Brampton. It's a complete #### show out there.

    Guess you have the spirit of the law, then the interpretation of the law. It sure is easy not to give a rip when you see politicians and the rich interpret the law, as its sure clear there is little interest in the spirit of it. Article also didn't mention without trucks a country stops. Period. I live in a community that many hate me. Big truck on "thier" roads stealing "their" water to take to those greedy bottlers. But they all live in a house, wear clothes, buy food, tyres, fuel, you name it and somehow has nothing to do with a truck, let alone the bottled water they bought.

    When a truck is big to park, parts are stupidly priced, one tends to accumulate treasures. Few would field the cost to build a council certified shed and house all their parts out of site and mind. I pass a property where the new owner has a truck, but also a it seems a lot of mates as there are now about 20 trucks parked there over night. All quarry truck and dogs, but its easier and closer to leave the truck on acreage and drive the car to work. Be interesting to see what happens as he has no neighbors but because he can be seen from the road someone will complain. And that one complainant will have more sway than all the work 20 trucks do.

    The old' without trucks a country would stop". No one's saying we don't need trucks. There's a reason we are a first world country. We didn't have a big problem until a certain demographic took over the trucking industry.

    The ######### with Alberta name flying through Manitoba now is nuts. All Brampton/surrey transplants. Only a matter of time before another mass casualty event.

    One person dead following Highway 401 crash in Cambridge, Ont.

    Could have been a lot worse. Driver is probably out of the country by now.

    They have been stone quiet here on the one that blew a stop sign and killed a woman here, and all 220 of his hogs. The company in Alberta had its fitness certificate revoked, on to bc I guess.
