On a summer night in 2013, a runaway train loaded with explosive
oil derailed in the small town of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. One of the
deadliest rail disasters in Canadian history, Lac-Mégantic stands
as a haunting narrative of how the powerful profit from collective
tragedy. Who are the real culprits of the disaster that claimed 47
lives? In this vivid, full-colour work of graphic nonfiction,
award-winning author Anne-Marie Saint-Cerny and illustrator
Christian Quesnel trace the path of the locomotive from the scene
of the crime all the way back to cowboy producers of Dakota black
gold, Wall Street investors, and politicians in the pocket of the
billion-dollar oil and gas industry. With no national public
inquiry launched or meaningful criminal charges laid, the victims
of Lac-Mégantic must not become mere statistics, nor the survivors
left to the mercy of predatory developers and financial interests.
Now the full story of that infamous night and its aftermath live
on—and illustrate the true human cost of unfettered capitalism.
