About 100 convoy trucks in downtown Ottawa have children living inside: policeDeputy Chief Steve Bell told reporters Tuesday that 25 per cent of the more than 400 trucks occupying the downtown core have children living inside.
Its something that greatly concerns us, he said. From the risk of carbon monoxide and fumes, the noise levels were concerned about cold, were concerned about access to sanitation, the ability to shower.
Bell said its something police need to address, and theyre having discussions with the Childrens Aid Society about what steps to take.

These truckers are risking a whole lot, even if arrest isn't in the offing. Their equipment is worth many thousands of dollars. And they'll lose more thousands every week they're not working. And ... for what? They're probably mostly vaccinated too.
The self-destructiveness of these people never fails to astound.
