Is Train Cargo Confidentiality Agreements Necessary?

It is also required under current regulations.

This issue is who is responsible for setting up and maintaining the reporting network. If the rail companies do it then the Internet is the only practical way. If the government wants to take responsibility then they can establish access/notification rules that make sense. The companies would simply file the reports which they are currently required to report anyways.

Quite simply it should be the same folks who oversee it for planes. Namely Transport Canada.

Then we establish airtight oversight protocols for Transport Canada.

Tim's comment about the cost is an important one when we start thinking about oversight for every single department of the government's which is why I always suggest starting the process of Total Public Awareness at the very top i.e the PMO, and see how far down the line decency and integrity trickles. We may be able to do way more with way less than first meets the eye.

The putrescently rich will freak of course but aside from the sycophants who the hell cares what they think?

Another train derailment in Slave Lake.

The condition of the tracks are questionable. The concerns were brought up here last year. Luckily no one was hurt.

I would agree that first responders are the only ones who need detailed information of what is on each train but people are entitled to know what kind of cargo's are being shipped through their communities.

That is acceptable to me. As long as the rail company has proper, accurate and timely information about the cargo they are carrying. In the case of Lac Megantic, the information given to the first responders would have been incorrect, putting their lives in direct danger. That should never happen.

Forget the first responders and people in those communities. My privacy comes first.~
