Canadian Pacific Railway says it has no intention of paying for the estimated $200 million cleanup of the Lac-Megantic disaster. CP said simply: “As a matter of fact, and law, CP is not responsible for this clean up.” It added that it will appeal an order from the Quebec government to pay the cost. The legal niceties may prove tricky. CP hired the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway to move the oil over the final stretch of track, but it never reached its destination. The MMA has now declared bankruptcy.
