Apparently, in the petro-province of Alberta, a landowner must grant access to their property for oil and gas exploration, for which they than receive annual compensation. If the well is abandoned or the rent is otherwise deemed uncollectible, financial responsibility falls to the taxpayers. With the current number of abandoned wells in Alberta alone hovering around 75,000 there are certain to be massive unfunded liabilities coming due.

Mayor Olivia Chow has stressed the city does not have the financial resources to continue to cover the costs of housing refugee claimants. (Alex Lupul/CBC - image credit)Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow said Thursday that some refugee claimants who were previously camped outside a downtown shelter intake office have been moved to hotel rooms through a city program. A motion passed unanimously by city council earlier that day called on staff to find 150 hotel rooms for newcomers, primarily by renewing shelter hotel contracts, and to find 100 more spaces in the coming days. More than 200 refugees and asylum seekers have been living at two churches in North York for several days after spending weeks living rough downtown. The policy led a coalition of advocates to call for the resignation of Gord Tanner, the general manager of Shelter Support and Housing Administration.
