    While the first video is about a horrific explosion, I chuckled when the narrator kept referring to Highway 401 as Interstate 401.

    Meh, it's because that isn't Canada...

    Yes, that was in Toronto. I think it was caused by two trucks doing a transfer of propane against regulations.

    Owe Canada.

    That's what a sign on someone's property read last time I was in Alberta.

    :(

    We (Alberta) still haven't recovered from the last downturn for a variety of reasons. The provincial government--and subsequently, municipal governments--are still making deep budget cuts. About 27% of the provincial budget is derived from mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction. The price of oil is in a steep drop (down 30% overnight) and Western Canada Select (our major export) already sells at a ~25% discount to WTI. I think it's going to get a whole lot uglier before it gets better.
