There is no secret that Western Canada has been hit by a recent spate of high-profile accidents involving trains. Not long ago, for instance, the increased rail traffic here has been blocked because of rather severe accident, happened 22 miles from US border.
The matter is that in my duty bound I was cooperating with investigators, and they've told me that all recent accidents in this region they link with growing seismic activity of neighboring Rockies' zones, where Americans are actively developing their shale gas reserves. Even US scientists have linked a rising number of quakes in current Rockies with using the hydraulic fracturing as the main method of extracting shale gas there. The matter is that it is extremely dangerous for seismic stability of the whole region of Rockies, including their Canadian part!
Imagine! The number of quakes in American Rockies jumped 11-fold (www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/03/130326151125.htm) now! Obviously, dangerous seismic effects from so-called US fracking technology threaten our Canadian Rockies either. And there is no surprise that the number of railway incidents, happened near these US shale gas mining areas, has increased greatly now! Only our authorities prefer to sidestep facts about them as 95% of local rail incidents have been non-accident releases up till now...
