“Two cars derailed and there’s no danger for the public, no injuries, no fire and no dangerous goods are involved,” CN senior manager of public affairs Olivier Quenneville told CTV News.
A source reportedly told CTV News that they believe something was purposely put onto the tracks to derail the train. A CN spokesperson did not confirm whether or not that is true.
Time to roll the indians up and clean house.
If you read Jonathan Kays column in the Post today, it is not the Indians, most of whom want to move forward and support the pipeline. The issue is the activists and agitators who are using First Nations as an excuse to dismantle the country. Time for Trudeau to go after the lawless thugs.
How can Justin go after the lawless thugs? Every time he encounters a terrorist he gets on his knees and makes a large “O” with his mouth.
and writes a multi million $ cheque.
Well we would hate to put them through another Prayer Circle, a few million seems fair compensation for the duress of an arrest. Ask Omar and he doesn’t even qualify for special treaty privileges.
And he carries their suitcases back to the car!!
I look forward to seeing one or two of those Indians go and dismantle the protest. Ya, sure . BS is always just that.
Reminds me of the episode of The Twilight Zone where that asshole kid makes evil stuff happen by wishing it and all the helpless adults can do is stand around and say “ It’s good that you did that! “ . We can all relate to the dude who finally asks why someone doesn’t just sneak up behind the brat with a baseball bat and slug away.
Rail is big money for people like Buffet, and all the others who fund pipeline protests. It is funny that they appear to have lost control of their minions.
but, socialists gonna agitprop. What can you do.
Solution: PIPELINES. One train accident like Lac Megantic was enough.
No, it wasn’t. Or in the right place, either. Perhaps a train derailment fire taking out the Mount Royal neighbourhood of Montreal, would have helped more?
Oh, but tracks don’t run through millionaire neighbourhoods, do they… Nancy Pelosi’s street has never had human excrement piled hip deep on it… There have never been used needles discarded on the grounds of Point Grey…
I was working for the provincial government in Mississauga when this derailment occured. Work required our crew to travel from 401 down to QEW.
Did not get very close to the scene. But while travelling around some barricades, the scene was reminicient of the “Andromeda Strain”.
Block after block of city street completely empty of people and vehicles. Only officers manning roadblocks.
Very surreal and spooky atmosphere.
There were a couple of “burners” near Guernsey, Sask a couple of weeks ago. https://saskatoon.ctvnews.ca/slowdown-ordered-after-second-train-carrying-oil-derails-near-sask-town-1.4799721 Oil trains. Back far enough to slip folk’s memories/join the dots. Bet they’re related. No more spoken about them. Lot of empty space out there, folks plus it’s cold outside. No witnesses. Flat, straight line track, too. The last one right at a railway/road crossing. Hiyah, heyah, hoyah …… bonga bonga bonga. Sure they’re Injuns? What’s a little sabotage among ecco friends, eh? Nobody said it wasn’t. Nobody said anything more about it.
Everything is awesome in Canaduh
It’s all okay! Gerry Butts and Seamus O’Regan weren’t hurt so all is good
As long as said derailments are in Quebec …??
That province could implode and I would not bat an eyelash – May even have a beer or two on that news.
Anything that has come out of that province since 1967, has been detrimental to me, My family, My career and this Province. Fk em, I could care less.
ah good ol’ 1967.
I was 15 at the time, wandering around Expo alone (get separated from the 2 brothers).
it started to rain and the lineup into the russkie pavilion vanished.
it was the first and LAST time I was ever in la belle province.
I also got my lifetime quota of kaybeckqwa arrogance all in a couple days.
at times I have inquired of various LIEberal pollllitiSHUNS if there’s a way ROC can have a referendum
to PUSH kaybeck OUT of the union.
oddly enough, I still remember a lot of my hi school french and remember the compliment I got from the cute quebecois girl in grade 13 about mon prononciatione. Anique Dion was her name. never wore a bra. hubba hubba !!!
I worked at EXPO 67, at age 15. Slopped dishes for the Chinese restaurant at Man and his World on Ste Helen’s Island. You shoulda stuck around. The FLQ were still blowing mail boxes and assorted unions were on the warpath with each other. Blew the front off a house down the end of my street on Rue St Jacques. Labor disputes tended to be rather violent in Montreal, back then. Cue the Murray Hill Bus vs airport taxis war. Practically open warfare, with flames. The War Measures Act was still 3 years away, in 1970.
This Paiutes R Us stuff today, is tame in comparison.
From https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/when-does-a-criminal-act-merit-a-terrorism-charge-a-look-at-the-law-in-canada-1.3900378
DEFINITION
The Criminal Code defines terrorism as an act carried out “for a political, religious or ideological purpose, objective or cause” intended to intimidate the public by causing death or serious bodily harm, endangering health and safety, or interfering with an essential service.
OFFENCES
The code includes offences that target financing and participation in a terrorist group, as well as facilitating and instructing others to commit terrorist acts.
It is time to start jailing those who fund this.
Any band that is involved should have their treaty declared void. Shut up UnME, I am talking about bands that are involved, not bands with members that are involved.
“Solution: PIPELINES. One train accident like Lac Megantic was enough.”
Actually, NO it wasn’t.
Blackie The Gay Muslim Pirate has surrendered to the Indians. It appears Big Chief Bill Blair has announced that the Mounties will be withdrawn from the gas pipeline route. This of course means that construction will stop. Yes, four or five indian monarchs can stop investment in Canada. CANADA, CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!
Odd juxtaposition isn’t it one day after the government stating they don’t order the police around, they order the police to pull back.
I must have remembered it differently.
Pulling the RCMP out is the best thing that could happen. They were only there to sanctify the Trudeau people blockade by keeping working people from doing what is necessary to resume their work. Now the “dialogue” boys can clean up the obstructions.
I am now Big Chief Ontario John of the Tuxedo Cat Clan, and every time I get pissed off at the government, I’m going to blockade railway tracks.
As a boy the rumor was that a few pennies placed on a railway track were enough to derail a train. Don’t know if this is true but never really believed it.
If true, thank heavens they no longer mint pennies. (sarc).
Nope. We used to do that as kids. All we got was wide, squashed pennies.
Worked for the railway one summer.
The crews working on tracks have a simple safety device called a derailer available, if a train comes through a track that is closed for work, it derails the train. They are small, simple, and easily man portable. If one knows the principle, they could be easily improvised.
Considering the wartime training video on the difficulty of blowing up tracks sufficiently that Kate posted a long time ago, I am surprised we didn’t drop such devices to the resistance.
all this CN kafuffle is simple karma.
feel free to give their ‘customer service’ line a call and try and find out wtFCUK is the duties and responsibilities of their ‘secuuuuritee’ boys when a drunk shows up.
go ahead.
apparently the tactic is to wait until it is (quote) a “police matter” and not just walk *away* but
dont walk *towards* the harassment and stop it in the first place.
followed by blaming the victim and letting the drunk get on the train.
true story.
the karma angle is very true also. I once beat up a ‘hitler youth’ in grade 7 so badly he HUNG HIMSELF that nite, too ashamed to face the crowd again. I derailed (pun intended) the budding career of a boss-from-hell and also found out how to deal with bullies.
they never hassled me again after 7 years of it.
also true story.
I find the hereditary chief angle interesting.
Just can’t see our hereditary chief Elizabeth II doing this kind of stunt (although I would enjoy it vastly it if she did).
The bands are (theoretically) democratic yet we still don’t see any explanation of the governments unwillingness to speak up for the elected Chiefs and (I imagine) the majority of band members. That silence alone speaks volumes about the anti-democratic dummies that work in the big teepee in Ottawa.
But then again ON trains gotta run on time. That’s very important.
Despite the SCOC back pedaling every once in a while claiming that “meaningful consultation” does not mean veto, they are responsible for the rulings that resulted in a widely held expectation that every project proposal and variation in the resource sector on Crown land requires unanimity from everyone better than 1/16 Indian racial purity. The 39% of the human ballast that calls themselves Canadian that support the blockade are either on board with the unanimity concept and or are just temporarily aligned with the (well greased?) dissenting minority (5 out of 11 hereditary chiefs) as a means to stop all pipelines as a first step to their green dystopian ends.
You have that right John! The SCOC played loose & stupid….They gave the Indians Aboriginal Title (It was a bait & Switch) which gave the Indians Standing in the Courts….What the SCOC missed was that Bait & Switch is an illegal construct and the Indians will take their Title Rights to the International Courts…. Canada will lose and the Indians will have Aboriginal Title to ALL Crown lands….Stupid Turds in the SCOC
I’ve been asking this question since last week.
3 derailments in 2 weeks….a little statistically above the norm.
And the crickets…will chirp.
Try 3 derailments in 2 days!

“Two cars derailed and there’s no danger for the public, no injuries, no fire and no dangerous goods are involved,”
This time.
On Andrew Lawton’s Twitter Feed, there is news report by CTV that something was placed on the track for the Quebec derailment. CN has acknowledged that something was placed on the track near Aldershot which derailed 2 cars. I wonder what the report will be for the Emo Ontario derailment. Churchill’s line of 3 times is a lot comes to mind.
I wonder how many people, in the last two weeks, have asked themselves this question.
”Why was none of this happening when Harper was in Ottawa??”
