When oil and gas companies are unable, or unwilling, to pay rent they owe to landowners where they have wells, the Alberta government pays it for them. The tab is now nearly $150 million since 2010, Sharon J. Riley reports: thenarwhal.ca/alberta-oil-and-gas-unpaid-rent-2024

Not sure how you pulled that one off, Steve...
