The #MatureAssetStrategy deepens the inactive well cleanup crisis it claims to address.
Demand a public inquiry to keep #Alberta’s Polluter Pays principle alive.

This includes when he was developing the new #MatureAssetStrategy — a policy that may offload billions in industry well cleanup costs onto taxpayers.
Alberta’s 2025 #MatureAssetStrategy proposes shifting oil and gas cleanup costs away from industry — despite nearly 330,000 unreclaimed wells and cleanup liabilities estimated at $100 billion (or more).
When polluters don’t pay, taxpayers do.

Dani needs more time to advance the MAGA agenda & buy votes w/giveaways. 2 more weeks in the #AbLeg. Watch for the #MatureAssetStrategy where taxpayers will pay to #CleanUp O&G polluters mess, a #Coal 'modernization' policy enshrining mining in law, privatizing health & redistricting. #DropTheWrit
"It's impossible to represent the interests of a partisan government, an independent regulator, private companies & all this consulting work and then supposed to represent the public in creating the #MatureAssetStrategy all at the same time to deal with this issue. OF COURSE we got a flawed product"
"While #DavidYaeger designed the #MatureAssetStrategy he was a consultant for #OilAndGas, advertising for new business. His tagline is, 'helping Oil & Gas companies achieve success.' He was paid with public dollars for this & has all these different, competing interests. Clear #ConflictOfInterest"
"We looked into how the #MatureAssetStrategy was created. It led by #DavidYeager who was paid $292,000 with public funds through 2 sole source contracts so no one else could bid for the job & he developed it through closed door discussions mostly just with oil and gas companies." #abpoli #yyc
"I've reported sour gas presence right next to a major freeway time & time again. Inspectors come out, shut it down & they're back in business the next day, nothing solved. The author of the #MatureAssetStrategy himself described all this as a stinking, steaming pile of sh*t. On that we agree."
Alberta needs a Mature Asset Strategy, driven by & for the people of Alberta (& downstream of us). This is NOT what the Alberta Government is giving us, they are presenting an INDUSTRY-driven MAS which undermines polluter pay laws which include an orphan program & fund. #MatureAssetStrategy #abpoli
Today, Dwight demanded an investigation into potential conflicts of interest in the #MatureAssetStrategy process.
Conflicts of interest at high levels of public administration are against the law.
And it’s in your power to flag them.
