Looks like they finally dropped it!

My second interview with Tucker is live, recorded on March 17 so a bit behind the ball on the Montgomery SCOTUS decision we mentioned, but better late than never.

Today’s ruling by SCOTUS on freight brokers being held responsible to vet carriers has been welcomed by many, including myself, as a much needed change to hold everyone with freight shipments responsible for safety. Others see it as the end of the small carrier.

Back in Oct of 2025 Craig Fuller compared the 100,000 truck crashes in America everyday to a plane crash everyday and asked why we accept it?

“These statistics translate to a disturbing reality: the odds of being killed by a commercial truck are approximately 20 times greater than dying in a commercial airline crash. If we had a commercial airplane crash every single day in the United States, the public would be outraged and there would be immediate federal intervention. Yet, we see the equivalent in highway fatalities from truck crashes, and it barely makes the evening news.” – The Growing Problem of CDL mills Oct 25th 2025

And then there is the otherside…

One of the last jobs I worked in the oil industry was hauling bitumen from Conklin, AB. Before I could go on site I needed fire retardant rain gear, steel toed muck boots, and a full face shield, all gear I have not specifically required before, other than the face shield. This gear was over $1,000 and rates for this run were low, hence it my oil hauling soon ended. When I arrived for my site orientation I asked why I needed FR rain gear and boots, this is what I was told:

“You probably won’t need it. We have drivers coming up here who barely speak English and this is their first trucking job, there are 2 or 3 spills a day when the drivers disconnect the oil hose before they close the valve. They cover their truck and themselves with oil.  We have to clean them up before they can leave site. If they are wearing rain gear they can just peel it off and leave.” Bitumen is 70 to 90 degrees celsius.

Even in the Alberta oil patch where people make there fortune everyday, there is still absolute disregard for human life in the pursuit of cheaper freight rates.

Today’s 9-0 ruling by SCOTUS holds everyone involved responsible for safety, they can no longer ignore the plane crash everyday or peel off the rain gear to drive home. Now it is on them as well.  I can only hope a smilar ruling is on the horizon in Canada.

Fake Chinese airbags;

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed it is investigating seven crashes, including five deaths, tied to aftermarket airbags that violently ruptured during deployment—the Wall Street Journal reports. The culprit is Jilin Province Detiannuo Safety Technology, also known as DTN Airbag, a Chinese manufacturer being accused of producing inflators that contain volatile chemicals.

Remember the Takata saga—the faulty inflaters caused the largest automotive recall in history, and accounted for 28 U.S. deaths.

Like Takata’s defective inflators, DTN’s counterfeits are alleged to explode with grenade-like force, spraying shrapnel into vehicle cabins during otherwise survivable crashes.[…]

It’s impossible to know how many cars are fitted with counterfeit DTN inflators—the fake airbags are often sold online, sometimes for as little as $100, a fraction of the price compared to $1,000 or more for genuine, manufacturer-certified parts. The construction and packaging mimic genuine OEM components closely enough that even repair shops can be fooled. Although you would think that a degree of scepticism would creep in when you’re literally paying a mere fraction of the price.

Louise Arbour’s daughter and son inlaw have a podcast called The Docket, that Louise Arbour has appeared on several times.  I have not listened to all the episodes she has appeared on, but from the few I have heard I will say that she freely speaks her opinions, which I respect, whether I agree with her opinions or not.

Want to help save a pipe organ? Apparently, the University of Alberta quietly made plans to begin removing this organ from Convocation Hall on April 30, without consultation, but the music community got wind of it.

Over 36,000 people signed the petition in just a few days, but the more the merrier! (How do you cheer up an organist? Give them a “note” of encouragement.)

I don’t usually promote petitions, but this seems like a worthy one. News article here and Petition link below.

Update: More here.

Indeed.

One of the more entertaining things to witness regarding the Iran conflict is to watch the “credentialed” class of milbloggers twist themselves into pretzels to laud the skill and courage of America’s fighting men and women in accomplishing all of their assigned missions so spectacularly, while at the exact same time carefully avoiding giving any credit to President Trump, SecWar Hegseth or Gen Caine.

And then there are the Democrats.

If you were informed of a conspiracy theory that Canada’s steady decline was intentionally planned by the global elite as an experiment to observe the reaction of the population, might you be open to it being true? Do tell us.
