Your suggestion that videos clearly showing protesters lighting wood pallets on fire on tracks for approaching trains to ram into is a technique endorsed by rail companies is very enlightening. Thanks. Do they perform this service for free or did the rail company hire them?

The video that went viral in right wing circles a number of years ago, shows the standard practice described in the link I shared. It showed pallets being stacked next to train tracks as per normal. The video incorrectly suggested in the upper and lower letterboxes that there was something nefarious with this practice. I'm going from memory here but I believe the upper and lower letterboxes were yellow in colour. The video does not show any train ramming anything. There were no train derailments or similar incidents that I'm aware of that were caused by the Idle No More demonstrations. I invite you to back up your allegations. I'm happy to be proven wrong if you would like to link me to a TSB report) of any train derailments or trains ramming a flaming barricade from that time period.
