Somehow this will become a liberal argument against the pipeline, or trains transporting anything other than immigrant children. Time will tell.

One the safety measures that was adopted by Canada, following the Lac Megantic accident was that an annual assessment of track safety must be done for all tracks that carry oil tank cars.. The Boeing accident highlights the need for this safety assessment.

The real crime of train accidents is that the bulk of the costs are paid by the federal government, not the train companies or the cargo owners. That means if an oil train explodes or a. coal train causes a land slide, you and every other tax payer is on the hook for the costs.
