Ten years after a tragic incident in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, where a train carrying crude oil derailed and caused an explosion, the Community remains divided over a plan to reroute the rail line. In 2013, the incident resulted in the death of 47 people and the destruction of the town center. Despite the tragedy, trains carrying dangerous materials still pass through the town. The proposed plan involves expropriating land to create a new route, but it has sparked controversy and disagreements among the community. The article does not provide any further details on the arguments for and against the plan.
