“Holy fracking hell, what a shit show.” RCMP might arrest you if you heed this – even on leases with unpaid rent on your own land. RCMP unjustly and grossly work for oil & gas companies, not Canadians harmed by those companies. NEB (now CER), AER, ASRB, Kenney’s War Room and Witch Hunt also serve the companies violating our contracts, our rights, our health, our loved ones and homes, our air, land and water, not us.

I do not recommend what this Synergy Alberta group (Action Surface Rights Association) is urging. It smells like an AER (devil) idea, and I am shocked the media reported it. Does the media know they are directing farmers to break the law? Is this crazy directive straight out of Kenney’s War Room?

It’s likely that our oil-soaked RCMP, judges and Alberta “Justice” will protect contract-violating companies and punish you if you are caught trespassing or tampering with facilites/wells/leases even if those are on your land. Kenney publicly made it clear he will only serve polluting, law violating oil and gas companies, not those of us harmed by them. You might also kill yourself, or others, and or start fires, cause explosions.

It’s terribly unjust, unfair, stinks and tastes worse, but protest, paper and pen are your best weapons against thieving, contract-violating companies and rights-violating AER and our disgustingly unjust Alberta “Justice.”

Build huge signs, paint on them in wild colours the names of the companies ripping you off and for how much, and paint on the names of the authorities enabling the thefts, eg Jason Kenney, the UCP, AER, ASRB, NEB, etc. Install them on your private property near the rogue leases, but not on them.

Write letters to editors of non-Alberta media (getting them published in media in other provinces has much greater impact). Document the harms, take photographs, video and keep extensive notes/journals.

Create a website and post your experiences and evidence. Use your imagination. Get your children and grandchildren involved. Even though companies and our judges and “regulators” break the law and harm us and our loved ones and properties, it is vital we, the harmed, do not break the law with them. That is what they want us to do, as we become more and more furious and stressed.

The establisment, companies, our corrupt authorities (including the Canadian Judicial Council, “Justice” departments and “judges” – even on the Supreme Court of Canada, and the police, CSIS, CSEC, ASSIST, etc) want us to blow up in fury at the non-stop violations, harms, abuses, injustices etc. They want us pushed to the breaking point where the law is violated or someone gets hurt so that Canadians everywhere concerned about the polluting, desecrating oil and gas industry and its prostitutes – the RCMP & AER, can all be discredited.

Alberta Landowner Verna Phippen Email to email hidden; JavaScript is required, Jan 24, 2020:

Mr. Weber. This is the last meeting I can find minutes on the internet for  the Board at the ASRA (Action) as of March 2019. The minutes suggest that Ron Huvenaars wants to be the ONE voice for the Province! 

Hmmmm. As in:

“Alberta Surface Rights Federation – Ron, Daryl and other directors have been going to ASRF meetings for several years now, in spite of the relative ineffectiveness of the ASRF. At the last ASRF AGM, Ron was elected Chairman. It is now our hope this involvement and change of leadership will be the start of a process to revitalize and reform ASRF into a truly Provincial organization that will represent all Alberta landowners with one voice to Industry and to the Provincial government.”

Sounds like a dictatorship to me Mr. Weber. For the record, Ron Huvenaars and Daryl Bennett have NO authority to speak for the Federation without running it through the individual surface rights groups. Might these ‘gentlemen’ read their bylaws or I will read them to them. 

Kindly, Verna Phippen

A few comments to the article below:

Rick E. Williams

If you really want to accomplish something, stop voting UCP. After the Province has blown through $320B in resource revenues without any of it landing in your pocket (except for a only a fraction of it through no sales tax) where has it left you? I mean look around you at the state of things. Surely, in terms of what nearly 50 years of conservative policy has done for the average Albertan, the proof is in the pudding is it not?

David Webb

So…..a company doesn’t pay their taxes for whatever reason….nothing happens. A citizen in any part of this country doesn’t pay their taxes goes to jail and/or has all of their accounts frozen and positive balances claimed by the CRA in a virtual instant….

what the blank is wrong with the leaders across this country.

Alberta landowners urge farmers to cut power to wells with unpaid debts, ‘They’ve defaulted on the leases and there are consquences’ by Bob Weber, The Canadian Press, Jan 24, 2020, CBC News

A group of Alberta landowners is asking farmers and ranchers to fight back against unpaid debts and unreclaimed oil and gas wells by closing valves and cutting power to energy company sites.

“The landowners need to safely shut down those surface leases, whether it’s safely turning off the power or safely shutting off the valve,” Daryl Bennett of the Action Surface Rights Association said Thursday.

The association represents about 200 landowners in southern Alberta.

“They need to let these companies know that they’ve defaulted on the leases and there are consequences.”

Most of Alberta’s roughly 400,000 wells are on private property. Provincial law forbids owners to deny access to energy companies and the industry is required to pay compensation. The deals are regulated by the Alberta Surface Rights Board.

But the arrangement may be coming apart.

Rural municipalities recently revealed energy companies owe a total of $173 million in unpaid property taxes and many landowners feel they’re getting the same short end of the stick.

Bennett said oil and gas operators are increasingly reneging on lease agreements that compensate landowners for the presence of wells or other facilities on their property.

“I get calls every day from landowners saying, ‘Hey, I got a notice. They’re cutting the compensation.’ There’s thousands of landowners in this situation.”

The cuts often come from companies with producing wells.

“It seems like this (United Conservative) government is in industry’s back pocket and they’ll do whatever they need to do to ensure these companies are allowed to drill,” Bennett said. “There’s a huge rural backlash coming and it does not appear that the government recognizes this.”

The association says the Surface Rights Board has been cutting payments to landowners by as much as half.

The landowners group lists problems that include slow action on complaints to poor regulation of well cleanup. It says industry has been exploiting backlogs at the board to ensure problems aren’t dealt with for years.

It says farmers are colliding with abandoned infrastructure. Wellheads are left unsafe and lease sites unweeded. Crops are reduced because food safety regulations prevent farming near contaminated sites.

A government draft report, released to The Narwhal magazine under freedom-of-information legislation, looked at 18 well sites that had received reclamation certificates. Only one met all the guidelines.

‘We’ve warned them for decades’
Industry has said low oil prices and falling profits in Alberta’s conventional oilpatch mean companies have to cut costs to keep the lights on and employees on the payroll.

Bennett isn’t swayed.

“They should have had the foresight to plan. We’ve warned them for decades that this problem was going to happen.”

He said the government should require a performance bond from companies before they’re allowed to drill. He also suggests annual compensation has to be paid and wells have to be reclaimed in a timely manner.

So, after a board meeting Thursday, the association asked landowners who are feeling short-changed to take direct action.

“Turn off the power and shut off the valves … just like any landlord would change the locks for a tenant who does not pay.”

It also urges landowners to object to any new drilling activity and to use new legal provisions to force industry to ensure all its equipment is free of weeds and disease.

“(Premier Jason Kenney) says that Alberta has the most socially and environmentally responsibly produced oil,” said association member Ron Huvenaars in a release.

“The premier can’t say that anymore.”

There certainly is a hatred growing among land owners beingbadly used by our oil industry that gets little to no response from our Provincial government!!  Many land owners are starting to take thing into their own hands simply because the action of our provincial government seems to be all in favour of turning public funds into payments for this industry– who care less about what they owe municipalities and land owners!! Albertans are beginning also to realize how big of a mistake they made in in electing a “Petro Pussy” as our Premier?? 

I would never advise turning vigilante to bring attention to a major injustice—but I also want to see a industry pay the bills it owes, –even if it must stop paying dividend to it’s shareholders?? 

I’m in the disbelief column– when I hear how terrible the industry is financially!!   I’ve read about many an industry member filling his attotment of their our private shares– rather than put money back into their petroleum businesses!!

Our Premier is spending at least $30 million public dollars to ensure no one badmouths a bunch of shysters who won’t pay their rent nor their municipal taxes —perhaps getting the power shut off to the UCP headquarters would bring some results for those who can’t collect the contracted rental payments??  Kenney has known about this problem for as long as he’s known about some who won’t keep quiet about shyster petroleum operator—that need legislation to keep them honest with their Landlords!!

Same article was published in many media. I pray no one heeds this insane advice.

Alberta landowners urge farmers to cut power to wells with unpaid debts by The Canadian Press, Jan 24, 2019, Todayville Red Deer.

A group of Alberta landowners is asking farmers and ranchers to fight back against unpaid debts and unreclaimed oil and gas wells by closing valves and cutting power to energy company sites.

“The landowners need to safely shut down those surface leases, whether it’s safely turning off the power or safely shutting off the valve,” Daryl Bennett of the Action Surface Rights Association said Thursday.

The association represents about 200 landowners in southern Alberta.

“They need to let these companies know that they’ve defaulted on the leases and there are consequences.”

An organization that represents the industry advised against the move and called it a “blatant disregard for public safety.”

“Shutting in wells without the proper care and guidance of oil and natural gas operators poses significant safety concerns for the individuals involved and the public,” Brad Herald, vice-president of operations for the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, said in an email.

Most of Alberta’s roughly 400,000 wells are on private property. Provincial law forbids owners to deny access to energy companies and the industry is required to pay compensation. The deals are [biasedly] regulated by the Alberta Surface Rights Board.

But the arrangement may be coming apart.

Rural municipalities recently revealed energy companies owe a total of $173 million in unpaid property taxes and many landowners feel they’re getting the same short end of the stick.

Bennett said oil and gas operators are increasingly reneging on lease agreements that compensate landowners for the presence of wells or other facilities on their property.

“I get calls every day from landowners saying, ‘Hey, I got a notice. They’re cutting the compensation.’ There’s thousands of landowners in this situation.”

The cuts often come from companies with producing wells.

“It seems like this (United Conservative) government is in industry’s back pocket and they’ll do whatever they need to do to ensure these companies are allowed to drill,” [What a stupid thing to say. It was obvious Harper was in industry’s back pocket, and it was obvious the UCP and its corrupt “leader” diddled in industry’s pocket long before the election. Rural Albertans and these synergy groups that vote like lapdogs are just getting what they voted for!] Bennett said. “There’s a huge rural backlash coming and it does not appear that the government recognizes this.” [Of course the govt recognizes it, the UCP don’t give a damn! Watch Kenney! He’s stabbing his supporters in the back and stealing from them to give to billion dollar profit-making companies, and still they love him.]

The association says the Surface Rights Board has been cutting payments to landowners by as much as half.

The landowners group lists problems that include slow action on complaints to poor regulation of well cleanup. It says industry has been exploiting backlogs at the board to ensure problems aren’t dealt with for years. [Of course it has. The companies refusing to pay their bills has everything to do with greed, not giving too hoots about Albertans (or Canadians, or humans in general, not even their own children), and nothing to do with bankruptcies or low prices]

It says farmers are colliding with abandoned infrastructure. Wellheads are left unsafe and lease sites unweeded. Crops are reduced because food safety regulations prevent farming near contaminated sites.

A government draft report, released to The Narwhal magazine under freedom-of-information legislation, looked at 18 well sites that had received reclamation certificates. Only one met all the guidelines. [Nothing new there, that’s Alberta’s Pompous Properous Pollute-us-all Standard!]

Industry has said [and they’re lying] low oil prices and falling profits in Alberta’s conventional oilpatch mean companies have to cut costs to keep the lights on and employees on the payroll. [if anyone believes that, they need to do a lot of reading]

“No business owner or operator defers financial obligations lightly,” said Herald. “This is a sign of the stress that many in our business, and Albertans across the province, are feeling every day.”

Bennett isn’t swayed.

“They should have had the foresight to plan. [not should have, they are required to. and AER/ASRB knows it. These types of statements are typical enabling Synergy Alberta crap] We’ve warned them for decades that this problem was going to happen.”

He said the government should require a performance bond from companies before they’re allowed to drill. He also suggests annual compensation has to be paid and wells have to be reclaimed in a timely manner. [You’re years too late with this idea Bennet, landowners needed to demand this before the wells were drilled and before endless facilties installed. This industry has been showing its dirty underware for decades, along w EUB/ERCB/AER enabling the foul stenchy pants, but oh no, ever eager to happily sign more and more leases, meekly saying nothing to protect the families before hand, just grubbily grabbing the money.]

So, after a board meeting Thursday, the association asked landowners who are feeling short-changed to take direct action.

“Turn off the power and shut off the valves … just like any landlord would change the locks for a tenant who does not pay.”

Report ‘buried’ by Alberta government reveals ‘mounting evidence’ that oil and gas wells aren’t reclaimed ***in the long run,*** A previously unreleased report obtained by The Narwhal shows a government division — soon to be scrapped by premier Jason Kenney — raised red flags about the province’s failing system for wellsite cleanup by Sharon J. Riley, Jan 23, 2020, The Narwhal

The Narwhal has obtained a previously unreleased report commissioned by the Alberta government that raises red flags about whether the government’s own program to ensure oil and gas sites are cleaned up is actually working in the long term. 

The 55-page report, obtained through a freedom of information request, cites “mounting evidence” that Alberta’s land reclamation program is not ensuring former oil and gas sites meet regulatory requirements in the long run, and instead confirms that, of the sites studied so far by an internal government pilot project, all but one failed to meet the government’s standards.

A former senior government official (who asked to remain anonymous) [Good old secrecy, a serious problem with Albertans, notably gov’t officials – they hide rather than stand tall. For anything to change in Alberta’s smug, polluting and thieving oil and gas industry, officials need to allow their identities to be published] with knowledge of the report told The Narwhal that releasing the report was “seen as an extreme risk to the department” and that there was “extreme pushback” against it being made public. 

The former official described the report as a “valuable piece of science” and one “that needed to be publicly reported.”

But “politically inconvenient” reports, the official said, were often “buried” within the department, regardless of the government in power.

The province’s United Conservative Party (UCP) government has indicated that the office that has been working on this research — the environmental monitoring and science department — will soon be eliminated,…

Excellent comment to the above Narwhal article by Rob Schwartz, on Alberta Surface Rights Group (not the same as Bennett group urging farmers to break the law):

Rob Schwartz replying to Douglas Malsbury ;

Not building proper leases for CBM wells was purely one of the many economic concessions that were promoted by the ERCB regulator of the day. [CBM and other insanely shallow gas frac’ing in Alberta started 20 years ago] Other concessions to the CBM industry were CO-MINGLED PRODUCTION FROM MULTIPLE COAL SEAMS [Prevents accurate isotopic fingerprinting of industry’s gases contaminating water wells and buildings], OPTIONAL SURFACE CASING , NO REQUIREMENT FOR INDIVIDUAL WELL PRODUCTION RECORDING , WATER PRODUCTION RECORDS BECAME A THING OF THE PAST and water from the many near surface coal seams was allowed to be drained down the well bore into the Belly River formation unrecorded.

Surface landowners were also misled by ERCB staff by being told that the targeted coal seams were “DRY ” when in fact most coal seams were actually “water wet” . The industry definition of “DRY” means “no liquid hydrocarbons present” and has nothing to do with the presence or absence of water. The idea of “zero impact” CBM leases was promoted to surface landowners as a cost saving alternative for the oil company plus a “money for nothin” option for the surface landowner. The Idea that the known CBM environmental disasters of New Mexico (Tweety Hatchet) could not be duplicated in Alberta “because we have such a strong regulatory process” was also heavily promoted. The complete list of purely cost saving deceptions promoted by the ERCB on things like the Aberdeen Project when compared to standard conventional well design practices is almost endless.

[Indeed! Thanks Rob for this damning summation. After I presented endless documented evidence (starting in 2004) to the EUB/then ERCB of Encana breaking the law, including frac’ing directly into community drinking water supplies, all the “regulator” would do, was violate my Charter rights, punish me, banish me, threaten me, try to frighten me, refuse me “regulation” until I kept all the regulator’s and Encana’s law violations and abuses secret, and the most vile – push me hard to try to con me into joining Synergy Alberta – one of the worst groups – the Aberdeen Project (a vile, abusive to landowners propaganda project that Kenney is now copying on a much more expensive scale with his War Room).]

Another excellent comment by Rob Schwartz to Mark Dorin ;

The issuing of “premature ” reclamation certificates is just one of the many tools that the regulator has given itself in order to transfer future environmental liability from the operator to the surface landowner and the public.

2009: The Intimidation of Ernst: Members of Harper Government’s RCMP Anti-terrorist Squad Intimidate and Harass Ernst after her Legal Papers were Served on Encana, the EUB (now AER) and Alberta Environment

Encana, AER and the Alberta gov’t broke the law, I did not, yet the RCMP invaded and trespassed on my private property, and harassed and tried to indimidate me.

The AER lied in all its court filings on my case, and in the Supreme Court hearing, yet the courts only punished me and rewarded AER.

I paid all my legal bills, in full, even the outrageously expensive photocopying and phone charges, yet my lawyers punished and continue to punish me.

No authority in Canada has taken responsible action against Encana’s law violations (an entire community’s drinking water supply was frac’d intentionally for f*cks sake!). All authorities so far have enabled and worked at covering-up Encana’s law violations and life threatening pollution. Instead of helping me and my community, and responsibly doing their jobs, the RCMP, AER, Alberta Environment, and courts punished me, nastily.

2015: Memo to AER and oil/gas/frac companies: “Honesty isn’t just the best policy, it’s (now) the law, Canada’s Supreme Court rules with respect to contract performance”

Given the abuses I’ve experienced so far by judges on my case, even with my “valid” Charter claim against AER, I expect no court in Canada will dare rule against an oil company for not paying rent, ripping off landowners, not paying taxes to municipalities, and not cleaning up, even if that means putting humans and livestock in danger.

EUB, after it was caught breaking the law and spying on innocent Albertans, was turned into ERCB by the Alberta govt, then, into AER after Ernst’s lawsuit went public. The deregulator and non-enforcer is a dirty rotten machine.
