Many politicians and others persist in calling the man made disaster at Lac Megantic a “tragedy”. This is a misuse of English. What happened at the Quebec town was a crime against humanity. This was part of the record of crimes resulting from the sacrifice of people for increasing profit for Corporations. This is precisely predictable when Corporations appoint governments who are willing and eager to trade people for profits as part of the deal to help Corporations in exchange for staying in power. Safety cannot come first. People are sacrificed for quick and nasty money returns and so we see how crimes against humanity are committed.
