GAINFORD, Alberta — Emergency crews battled a massive fire Saturday after a Canadian National tanker train carrying oil and gas derailed west of Edmonton, Alberta, overnight. No injuries have been reported so far.
Convinced of the need for pipelines yet?
Canadian National spokesman Louis-Antoine Paquin said 13 cars — four carrying petroleum crude oil and nine loaded with liquefied petroleum gas — came off the tracks around 1 a.m. local time in the hamlet of Gainford, about 50 miles from Edmonton.

Mercedes-Benz was complicit in the killing, torture, or kidnapping by the military of union auto workers during Argentina’s 1976-1983 conflict. Thousands were killed, kidnapped, or ‘‘disappeared,’’ including trade unionists, left-wing political activists, journalists, and intellectuals.
