The train accident in Lac-Mégantic, Que. is a wake-up call, said Chief Roy Michano. All Canadians need to ask what is being hauled through their communities, said the leader of the Ojibways of Pic River. “How many cities across the country could this happen to,” asked Michano, who said he tried to get information from Canadian Pacific Railway after a recent oil spill near White River, but the company was reluctant to provide the information. “Canadians, in general, [need to] get a clarification... as to what they’re bringing across the country.”
