But even if those operations had been run more competently, they still wouldn’t undo the damage the industry they seem hellbent on protecting does to itself on a regular basis. All the bulletproof armour in the world can’t protect you when you’re constantly shooting yourself in the foot.In addition to its growing inventory of leaky tailings ponds and thousands of unreclaimed and orphaned wells it hasn’t cleaned up, it’s also shorting rural communities on their property taxes.
Alberta's oil and gas industry likes to blame environmentalists and the federal government for its inability to build more pipelines.

Even the best marketing campaign in the world can’t help sell a product that consistently advertises its own flaws and failures, and a hundred Greta Thunbergs couldn’t do the sort of damage to the Alberta oil and gas industry’s reputation that it keeps doing to itself.
for encouraging Albertans to “look in the mirror,” but that’s exactly what the leaders of its biggest industry ought to do the next time they want to complain about their reputation.
