Rural Landowners Break the Silence on Major Alberta Oil Company’s Business Practices

I’m with the 92% of Albertans—including farmers and rural landowners—that expect the oil & gas industry to clean up their spent wells and pipelines. When polluters pay, it creates decades of full-time work for oil & gas workers. So why do Conservatives let them get away with it?

Anybody who understands history knew this was coming in the absence of any sort of mass-movement against capitalism.
As Rosa Luxemburg famously wrote: "bourgeois society stands at the crossroads, either transition to socialism or regression into barbarism."

We REALLY need people to stop attending COP and instead spend their time & energy building some sort of organized resistance movement at home, at the grassroots, in our communities, to take power away from corporations (and our captured governments) and build the future we deserve.
