Connecting the dots from A to B.


February 10, 2007 (emphasis tail-waggingly added):

In recent months, Ottawa appears to have taken a keen interest in the number and severity of derailments. First in November an inquiry was called to investigate rail accidents in B.C. Then in December Transport Canada announced plans for a full review of the Railway Safety Act.

But any review or inquiry may be redundant when the Government probably already has the information they need about CN and railway safety in Canada. A Transport Canada safety audit of CN's practices has been kept secret for some time.

The safety audit, ordered in August 2005, was promised to be made public by the Liberals. Completed last year, the safety audit findings have not been released by the Conservative government. Transport Minister Lawrence Cannon says that's because CN doesn't want it made public. "I would want it to be made public but I can't," Cannon tells W-FIVE.

March 1, 2007:

Crews cleaning up a massive CN train derailment in Pickering are hoping to have the mess cleared by Friday morning.

Yes, it's tricky, but if you think about it long enough, I'm sure you'll puzzle out the connection.
