They do this literally every time and then government just goes and says, no.problem sir, thank you sir. Canada can be a real joke sometimes. Are you aware those are the resources that belong to Canadians, and you sell them for pennies on the dollar and clean up for them too, at our expense I might add.

Each and every well should not be started until a trust is set up with the cost of cleanup deposited in it. Once the company quits the well from either it drying up or the company going under, the trust is given to the government including the interest to pay for cleanup.

Not one shovel should hit soil until the cleanup is already prepaid.

dump all the contaminated soil on the CEO's front lawns... I'd pay more in taxes if the government had some balls and actually stood up to these pricks

They need to pay upfront for the cleanup.

Uhm, that should read "ANOTHER oil and gas company just left behind..."

As usual the UCP is all talk and fluff. They've been talking about improving this for a long time because it keeps happening and making the news, but they know all they need to do is say they're working on it and people will forget.

We need to tax these companies more and we need to make them pay for cleanup up front, as other have said. Anything less is doing nothing.

track down all the executives and directors of the companies that formerly owned them, and put them to work. don't let them make this someone else's problem.

Not that we actually keep up with that clean-up deal no matter who is footing the bill.

the big loser is the investors.

Don't gamble with money you can't afford to lose.

A Make Alberta Great Again problem.
