who'd have thought storing close to 3000 tonnes of highly explosive material in a major city would turn out so badly?

People need to care about others more.

my understanding is that there was plenty of concern voiced about it, but none of those that could do anything did, just passed on the responsibility or just completely ignored it. All of those people resigned after this incident.

Should have been incarcerated. Resigning is not the same. I don't know how many lives were affected but this is unreal.

it's like anything that goes really bad in government, no one is willing to take the blame

This kind of thought scares the government but when did "civil servant" drop out if the job description? These people are our employees. We pay them to do a job. I'm tired of talking about it but that seems to be all that people do in Canada.

In Australia here, we have the Ruby Princess problem, a cruise liner filled with COVID-19, all let out of quarantine to return home to isolate, return via public transport. This is the cause of most of the infections. Then there is the Hotel Quarantine problem, government pays for hotel stays, however, an unapproved security firm was used to "guard" the hotel guests. The firm, subcontracted at a much cheaper rate to inexperienced and untrained people. They in turn, let a family of 4, infected, roam the hotel and surrounding areas cause they didn't like being in one room. They are responsible for 90-95% of infections in Victoria. Again, no one will take responsibility for it.

It's hard to take things seriously when only the middle and lower class get punished.
