Because they're probably pissed they have a ****load of oil leaking onto their property.
The place is a mess,knowing great plains these folks will be compensated way more money then they would ever get on the market.Shi* happens,you clean it up. The fact that the guys living on credit shows hes not very good with his money and especially if he worked in the industry.
Well this is a whole load of assumptions and a lot of hay to make out of a simple statement.
I thought the fact over 1000 barrels of oil spilling on to someone's property might be the spotlight, but apparently you guys would prefer to focus on the family's spending habits. :lol:
The image in the OP is actually from their property:
Thousands of bbls onto just one person's property?.. That is amazing considering that they just announced that the # was in the range of 3000 bbls total.
So fully 1/3 jumped just onto their land. Wow, that is some pretty amazing oil spill - bypassing everyone else and landing on their doorstep.:lol::lol::lol:
It won't look like that by this fall and they will be compensated. Compensation will be less because they opened their yaps before lawyering up.
Oil spill worries Albertans
Red Deer River supplies thousands of Albertans with drinking water
People living downstream from a ruptured pipeline in Alberta can only hope the spill won't seriously pollute the water they depend on for drinking and recreation.
Officials were alerted Thursday night that the 50-year-old Rangeland line owned by Plains Midstream Canada had ruptured roughly three kilometres north of Sundre, threatening the water supply for more than 100,000 Albertans who live downstream on the Red Deer River.
So far, the province says, there's no risk to human health and it will continue to monitor air and water quality. An information centre has been set up at the James River Community Hall just north of Sundre for residents.
Up to 3,000 barrels of oil leaked from beneath Jackson Creek, a tributary of the Red Deer, and the contamination spread downstream until it reached Gleniffer Lake and reservoir, where the majority of the containment efforts have been deployed.
Plains Midstream is building a base of operations between the spill site and the Dickson dam to direct the cleanup effort that has just begun.
On Saturday, a long line of transport trucks brought supplies at the camp as cranes and bulldozers laid down prefabricated flooring on the wet ground. Office trailers were being set up and cleanup equipment was being stockpiled as a helicopter buzzed overhead.
Stephen Bart, vice president of crude oil operations for the company, said it's too early to tell how long the cleanup will take on the fast moving river, which has been swollen in recent days by heavy rain.
"We deeply regret this incident," he said. "We're obviously working to ensure we're doing all we can to limit the extent of the release."

It was pretty muddy when I went over it Saturday.I noticed as I stopped for a leak while on the bridge,sorry about that.
No,think I was on 21,I head straight west from Kindersley,onto the trans canada and then medicine hat and #3 to taber and the pass.
