They're Back: Exploding Tar Trains

Canada's popular new Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is busy reversing all of the restrictive legislation passed by his predecessor, Stephen Harper.  One of the changes that came about under Mr. Harper's leadership was a restriction on the transport of tar sands oil by rail.  A serious accident at Lac-Megantic Quebec brought about this change.

No more restrictions.  The other day I counted 116 contiguous tanker rail cars slowly moving along the rails toward downtown Winnipeg.  If what I suspect is true, each of these rail cars is literally a bomb waiting to explode in an accident or because of a deliberate terrorist intervention.  In the Lac Megantic accident, many rail cars exploded.  The result was the destruction of the core a Quebec community not nearly the size of Winnipeg.  These dangerous tar Sands trains are passing through cities and towns across Canada and the United States.

They're back.  The Liberals are back.  Canadians can't get enough of their pretty new Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.
