Hard to say without knowing more about it. Only thing for sure is they're not hazardous or flammable materials. No placards on the cars and no spacers to separate them from the engines as would be needed if they were dangs. Could be a bunch of different products or even clean, empty tanks going to be loaded.

Blackfalds Alberta, a few miles north of Red Deer, some of it usually in the green tanks come from Scotford near Edmonton.

The reason i asked is because i saw that train in water town today but i didn't see the units and it was a unit tank train as well and went by about this. So it is hard to say without knowing more about it.

Look like molten sulphur cars. IIRC they are not placarded in Canada. If sulphur they would have a rectangle box on each side with the UN/NA 2448 code, it looks like it is there but can't tell for sure from angle video is shot.

Very few tank cars are owned by railroad companies: the reporting marks on tank cars are those of the shipper who owns them (or a leasing company). It looked as if most of the cars in that train were marked either ADUX (maybe: AOUX) or ECGX (not sure of that one, but certainly many had E as the first letter): look carefully, stopping the video as the front end of a car (with the reporting marks) gets close to the edge of the picture, and you may be able to read them more accurately than I could just now.

Find out who has those reporting marks and it might give a good hint as to what the loads were.
