No links for these stories because they came from various tv news reports yesterday, so I'll just list them here as a group.

Lacombe, AB Train derailment that caused several cars to leave the track and loads of grain to be spilled. Not caused by maliciousness.

Calgary, AB Westjet passengers delayed for up to eight hours on Thursday due to a nation-wide computer glitch.

Last weekend Air Canada's booking computers were apparently down, as well.
