From #LorneFitch: "We should not be fooled or lulled into a false sense of complacency by empty but soothing filler words and phrases from our #governments on the need to erase careful, thoughtful planning and oversight. Be wary of “simplifying, clearer advice, pre-approval, narrowing types of activities for streamlining, allowing construction before approvals, adjusting impact assessment conditions, exempting projects.”

Why doesn't the oil and gas industry move to properly cap these wells?
“They can’t, because it bankrupts the industry as we know it.”
