Alberta tackles trucker training scams
In the latest episode of Not "Sorry" on Juno News, host Alexander Brown, Director of the National Citizens Coalition, dives deeper into the escalating immigration, employment, and crime and chaos-linked crisis that’s plaguing Canada: illegal trucking scams and unsafe practices.Building on the explosive whistle-blowing episode with trucker and author Gord Magill, who exposed systemic flaws in driver training, safety standards, and regulatory loopholes, this instalment brings a high-level policymaker to the table: Alberta Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen.
Fresh off the Alberta government's bold announcement of expanded trucking regulations and a continued safety blitz on Friday, Dreeshen joins Brown to unpack the province's sweeping crackdown on bad actors in the trucking sector. The minister details how Alberta is ramping up enforcement to target unsafe commercial driver training schools and rogue carriers. Key measures include intensified inspections, rigorous audits, and targeted investigations aimed at rooting out fraud, misclassification schemes, “Drivers Inc.” employee exploitation practices, and so-called "chameleon carriers” that evade accountability by rebranding.
So far, the province has shuttered five substandard driver training schools and pulled 13 trucking companies off the roads for violations like poor safety records, faulty equipment, and improper employee records. Given the nature of Canada’s immigration crisis, more closures are anticipated as investigations continue, with the goal of elevating Alberta's standards toward national Red Seal certification for commercial drivers.
Brown presses Dreeshen on the broader implications: Will these changes impact provinces such as British Columbia and Ontario, where trucking scams are particularly prevalent? Will Canada’s two official languages be better represented on the roads among drivers struggling with basic language proficiency and road signs?
And how does Minister Dreeshen feel about the Carney Liberals’ false start on repealing anti-resource legislation, and B.C. Premier David Eby’s hostility towards a shared west coast pipeline?
