We're fighting for a future where oil & gas corporations clean up the messes they make instead of leaving taxpayers to foot the bill. No more drill and dash! Learn more: linktr.ee/CleanUpYourMess

We are proud supporters of the Clean Up Your Mess campaign. Our taxes should go to healthcare and education, not to clean up polluting wells. We say NO to the Mature Asset Strategy. #PollutersMustPay #ableg

As Mark Carney & Danielle Smith ram through yet another new pipeline, remember that our leaders (at all levels) have failed to clean up over 300,000 wells and 450,000 kilometres of pipeline across Alberta after a century of development. No cleanup = no new pipelines!!! #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli

We can’t let that happen. On our revamped website, you’ll find a brand new tool for you to can quickly send a letter to your MLA telling them to stop the Mature Asset Strategy. It will only take you three minutes, and the tool automatically finds your MLA: www.cleanupyourmess.ca/stop-the-mas

We started the Clean Up Your Mess campaign last year to hold the #oilandgas industry accountable for their own cleanup. As a provincial election draws closer, the #Alberta government is STILL trying to download tens of billions of dollars in cleanup costs onto taxpayers.

Orphan wells are a multi-BILLION dollar liability in #Alberta, and a lot of those costs have been downloaded onto the public. But why has the problem been getting WORSE in recent years? 👀

Amanda's waited for YEARS for an orphan well on her land to be cleaned up. Meanwhile, she can't build on that land or use it for livestock, and she fears the safety consequences of having a largely unmonitored well on her land. And the worst part? Amanda is far from the only one. #alberta #abpoli

This is the same AER that refuses to hold oil & gas companies accountable for their legal cleanup obligations, even when rural Albertans suffer the consequences. We’re seeing the same story repeat time and time again all across the province.

Clean Up Your Mess Alberta @cuym-alberta.bsky.social · 11/09/2026
As farmers who’d been doing everything right, the Smiths assumed that the Alberta Energy Regulator would be there to protect them. Instead, the AER has continued to let this family down and failed to protect their health and wellbeing at every stage.

The Smiths are a hard-working family who’ve spent their whole lives building their dream of a family bison farm. When a major gas fracking operation moved in next door, they were worried. And with good reason. #abnews #abpoli #alberta #daniellesmith www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ6w...

With this challenge, they’re arguing that the AER’s chronic underfunding of the Orphan Fund Levy — meant to fund cleanup of oil and gas liabilities managed by the Orphan Well Association (OWA) — is against the law.  Learn more 👉 ecojustice.ca/file/alberta...

This is why data centres are being pushed so hard here in Alberta as well. They want to burn more natural gas to make gas companies more profitable (and to help companies avoid cleanup) - while ordinary Albertans will be stuck paying more for our utility bills. #ABLeg #ABPoli #CDNPoli

It’s possible to responsibly develop oil and gas without harming other landowners and stakeholders. When they are actually harmed, the oil company must compensate. Simple concepts increasingly ignored in lawless Alberta. #AERReform youtu.be/e8VFqQXxvwE?si… via @YouTube
