No way. It shouldn't happen. Canada is such a large country that we don't NEED to pile up industrial plants in residential areas. Some facts:

The population density, 3.5 inhabitants per square kilometre (9.1/sq mi), is among the lowest in the world

approximately 90% of the population is concentrated within 160 km of the US border

total area: 9,984,670 sq km

You can't tell me there is no room to build these places further away. We had an entire housing development here that had to be abandoned because the gas/oil plant didn't clean the land properly before selling it off to a developer. Hundreds of families misplaced, and who knows what kind of health effects....all because of this place being near residential areas.

Our gas stations are running out of fuel out west...not sure if it's because of this incident or some other reason. Not good though.

The problem now is that residents in the area are unsure of the presence of asbestos in their homes, as a white powder has settled over everything in the wake of the explosion. Even the food being grown in back yard gardens is no longer safe to consume. So sad.
