Petition to the Government of Canada
- Canadians, who live along rail corridors, assume serious risks associated with the transport of crude oil and other dangerous goods by rail;
- Railway cars, carrying petroleum and other hazardous cargo, pass through urban areas, by residences, schools and hospitals;
- We value the lives of our First Responders, and recognize the need to provide them with reliable real-time information regarding the transportation of dangerous goods by rail; and
- Rail corporations, with profit seeking mandates, in the event of an incident involving the accidental release of dangerous cargo into the environment, cannot be expected to conduct themselves strictly in the interests of the public or the affected environment.
