From: The Lac-Mégantic Rail Disaster

Analyzes the Transportation Safety Board investigation report on the Lac-Mégantic disaster focusing on the discrepancies between the original investigation team draft and the public report, suggesting the latter was politically manipulated to remove causes that showed the railway industry and Transport Canada in a highly unfavourable light.
