Good article as always Ray. The sand scam is a big racket here in Canada as well. We have federally funded road infrastructure construction projects using aggregate “sold” to East Indian aggregate companies from federally owned gravel pits that is trucked to an East Indian controlled pit by East Indian trucking companies and then sold back to the federal government and trucked back into the government gravel pits and then trucked to the construction areas by the same East Indian trucking companies. During the road construction boom during the Turdeau2.0 era his minister of infrastructure and transportation was Amarjeet Sohi , his brother inlaw was the owner of the trucking and aggregate business. Huge government contracts that taxpayers funded the sand costs for twice! (Sohi coincidentally went on to become mayor of Edmonton Alberta after stepping down from federal politics amid corruption allegations). The other scam up here is the removal of the topsoil from residential building lot’s prior to construction, it is hauled to a pit and then upon completion and purchase of the new house, the homeowner is then sold his topsoil back, which is needed to complete the exterior grade and complete the landscaping, in order to get your “landscaping deposit” back..You purchase a building lot, they remove part of it and then sell it back to you…dirt and sand is quite the scam. Dirt is no longer dirt cheap.
