Oil in Alberta spill may be carcinogenic
Your concerns about the investigation are certainly valid, in my opinion. Generally, however, additions to articles more than a few days old are non-productive as no one may ever see them. I've protected the article in accord with our archiving policy, but I would encourage you to create a new article about the investigation. Please review the information above for content and source guides. Again, please let me know if I can assist you or answer any questions. --Chiacomo (talk) 05:33, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. First time here. I don't think they are non-productive, because the way I found myself here was after doing a search on google re: CN Rail and CAw. I was doing this becuase of the ongoing investigation, and was getting some info for an email I sent to Peter Warren at. I think people will read that article for a while, especially if the investigation goes some where. I'm thinking of creating an account... but I saw some of the guidlines and sometimes, I don't think I can give both sides of a story equal expression. Take care, Rip

Okay I have made an account with name Rip. I will post a little article, but it will be short.
