Frac-addicted Alberta drought: MD Greenview and County Grand Prairie declare agricultural disasters while frac’ers frac the province dry, American AI billionaires want unlimited water and frac’d gas with Premier Danielle Smith happy to give it to them *and* let Australia coal billionaires permanently poison water needed for humans, fish, livestock and wildlife. But Trudeau you know …

Why do main media reporting on extreme drought in oil and gas provinces like Alberta not report on this vital horrifying fact, which also includes water injected for SAGD in the tarsands:

2012: AEA: Support to the identification of potential risks for the environment and human health arising from hydrocarbons operations involving hydraulic fracturing in Europe

A proportion (25% to 100%) of the water used in hydraulic fracturing is not recovered, and consequently this water is lost permanently to re-use, which differs from some other water uses in which water can be recovered and processed for re-use.

2 northern Alberta municipalities declare agricultural disasters due to dry conditions, Officials say persistent dry weather may force ranchers out of livestock industry by Cameron MacCuish, CBC News, Jul 20, 2025

Two rural municipalities in northwestern Alberta are sounding the alarm over extremely dry conditions that local officials say are threatening the livelihood of many cattle ranchers in the region.How many of them are happily addicted to frac and only ever vote con (UCP and CPC), no matter what? And always agree with Dildo Danielle Smith blaming Trudeau for every abuse and fuck up she intentionally abuses Albertans with?

On July 8, the Municipal District of Greenview, located about 400 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, declared a municipal agricultural disaster for its livestock industry.

With widespread dry weather persisting throughout the region, the neighbouring County of Grande Prairie also declared an agricultural disaster on Friday due to similar concerns for their livestock herds.

In a new release on Monday, the M.D. of Greenview stated that the decision was made because of unprecedented drought conditions and significant grasshopper infestations in the region, which are causing hay and pasture lands to fail.You fuckers up there own it!

Bill Smith, the deputy reeve for the M.D. of Greenview and a fourth-generation rancher, said he can’t remember a time when the region saw this many consecutive years of dry conditions.

“I’ve asked some of the old-timers that I know, and none of them say they’ve ever seen it this bad, because on top of how dry it is, it’s these grasshoppers that are just hammering us.”

• Farmers and ranchers in southeastern Alberta contending with bone-dry summer
• More than a dozen agricultural disasters now declared as Alberta’s south stays dry for months

The exceptional drought conditions are leaving ranchers concerned they won’t have enough hay to feed their livestock, said Smith.

“I should be getting 3,000 bales a year, and I’m probably going to hit 500 [bales this year]. Last year, there were about 1,000. This is about as severe as it’s gonna get for us.”

Smith said the dry conditions are being compounded by throngs of grasshoppers that are devouring any new plant growth in the area.

“Now, we have these grasshoppers, and they’re just flying right now, and they are like a combine going across the field. They’re just sucking up any quality [hay] that we have.”

Tyler Olsen, the reeve for the M.D. of Greenview, said he is very concerned that the local drought conditions will result in a serious lack of feed for the region’s cattle herds through the fall and winter. As a result, he said these conditions could force ranchers to preemptively liquidate their herds.Time then for sure for rural Albertans to stop worshipping oil, gas, bitumen and frac (the industry which is the main reason we are suffering destruction of earth’s livable climate resulting in worsening endless extreme heat, drought, and insanely corresponding wildfires) and stop worshipping and voting for Dildo Danielle and stop worshipping the orange kid-raping Nazi she swoons over down in fossil fuel polluter loving USA. But they won’t open their minds, ever, ’cause Trudeau you know! And they’ll brain wash their kids and grand kids into hating the environment and Trudeau too.

“There are producers that are looking at selling already. They just can’t make it through the fall with what they have,” said Olsen.

Olsen hopes that declaring this agricultural disaster will help bring awareness to some of the needs of the municipality’s livestock industry from both provincial and federal governments.

In an open letter to Alberta’s Agriculture Minister RJ Sigurdson, Olsen asked for the M.D. of Greenview to be included in the regions that are eligible for the federal livestock tax deferral program.

He also requested additional mental health support for farmers struggling with the worsening conditions for their livestock.

“It’s their livelihoods that are failing now, and that’s gonna be harsh for them. Their minds are part of the whole thing, and if we can’t protect those too, then it’s going to be even more detrimental.”

In a statement to CBC, the provincial Agricultural Ministry stated that it provides grants to multiple organizations that offer agriculture-specific mental health support for farmers.Would be much more effective and humane to ban frac’ing and water wasted on enhanced oil recovery and reverse Smith’s insane restrictions on non water harming wind and solar.

The ministry also said the province is committed to continuing advocacy efforts at a federal level on behalf of livestock producers affected by extreme weather conditions. It said that as a result of this advocacy, more eligible regions in Alberta have been able to access federal financial support.

Smith said that many ranchers in the area may be forced to leave the livestock industry entirely due to the current difficult conditions.

“To face the fact that we might have to get rid of [our livestock] is just heartbreaking,” said Smith.

But, Smith and subsequent con premiers, watching hearts and minds of Albertans break (needing mental health help) from extreme drought and loss of our water will never say no to frac’ers, many foreign owned, permanently removing billions of gallons of water from the hydrogeological cycle, coal companies permanently polluting shallow waters killing fish and us, and America Nazi AI billionaires wasting (for nothing) what little water is left.

AI is coming for the world’s energy and water.

Life on earth is fucked. Super Idiot billionaire ex Google (which I boycott) CEO Eric Schmidt tells the Nazis in Congress that superintelligent AI wants 99% of *all* global energy. Think of the noise harms; toxic stench, air, land and water pollution killing humans and other species; dramatically escalating climate chaos from AI’s farts and belches alone. PS Musk’s Grok/xAI is violating the rules like Encana, not a regulator to be seen.

More than $70B largest in world 7,000 acres AI data centre planned in MD Greenview, Alberta; Ego O’Leary’s Wonder Valley to eat worker pensions nestled under Harpie’s $170B AIMCo wing? Water guzzling from Smokey River; power from toxic frac’d gas. Cumulative impacts will be horrific so I expect evil queen Dildo Danielle will exempt the insanity from assessments.

Kabul, with over six million people, might run out of water; Diablo Grande, California megadevelopment runs out of water (increases monthly bills 300% to $600.00/mth), towns in frac’d to hell Alberta already running out.

Water? Who needs water? Not me! Mine was illegally frac’d by Encana 24 years ago with cover-up love and blessings by Alberta regulators and gov’t. A billion humans may soon be harmed by lack of water because of human pollution; many millions already are. Alberta gov’t doesn’t give a shit about protecting *any* water from their rich raping pals, not in the tarsands or anywhere companies want to frac drinking water supplies used by *white* communities, even during extreme drought. If racist UCP and Measles Queen Danielle Smith don’t give a shit about protecting source water for whites, they sure as hell won’t for First Nations.

Oil and gas idiots frac’ing Alberta dry, idiots AER and UCP letting them. Water taken away at the drop of a drought: Milk River Irrigation water cut off, bye bye crops, hello economic hardship.

Alberta: When wind and drought collide with sheer stupidity. An open letter to Premier Danielle Smith and her war against water by David McIntyre

Alberta: Wildfires, extreme drought, vanishing water, climate chaos screams as fossil fuel pollution escalates: “UCP determined to make things worse just so the rich can get richer” says nobody could see the Jasper fire coming. Sleazy Liar: Slave Lake (2011), Fort McMurray (2016), Waterton (2017), Fox Creek Wall of Wildfire Close call (2023), Jasper (2024). Next?

Alberta neglects to say to miners, “We’re in severe drought and rising extreme heat, bring your own water and appropriate noise mitigation too,” while chasing $100B in data centre “opportunities” and guaranteed health harming hell for neighbours

Too many humans, not enough water. “When in drought” Alberta will take from Albertans, fish, birds and wildlife to give to bully corporations.

Frac’ers say they’re ready for drought ‘n fire, have hoarded enough water to frac to end 2024. Who are they permanently taking that water away from?

Dear Mountain View Co Reeve Angela Aalbers: Of course you can and must dispute Tourmaline’s frac invasion of McDougal Flats. You could have denied the road use agreement. You can say the county has no water to spare. You can say “NO!” Lethbridge and Calgary did and won. You can object to Tourmaline, CAPP, UCP, AER, Alberta Environment, Danielle Smith and more. You can answer gov’ts request to municipalities for a plan on conserving water; you could suggest banning frac’ing. Doing nothing means you endorse **permanent** removal of millions of gallons of water from the hydrogeological cycle and puts residents at risk of health harm.

Solar panels over irrigation canals in drought stricken Alberta would save water and produce energy to aid UCP’s failing frac’d gas-fired grid. Farmers get half their water allocation cut while out raging and protesting carbon tax their fuels are exempt from. “Fracking get cut yet?”

Overlooked feedback loop: As fossil fools frac Alberta to dried up hell, drought causes soils to crack, releasing more CO2 and other greenhouse gases, escalating climate chaos.

Alberta, The Wild Wild West of Stupid: Under extreme drought and climate chaos diminishing supplies, frac’ers plan to truck water province-wide

Water Raping Frackers Remain Jail Free. Another Alberta drought-stricken county declares agricultural disaster; California drought regulators fine farmers with historical water rights $1.5 Million for taking water

Instead of criminalizing frac’ing in drought stricken NEBC (at or near Level 5 for two years already), BC Energy “Regulator” urges frac’ers to hoard water “for use in the dry season” and lets them keep frac’ing, permanently removing most of the water injected from reuse.

Alberta 2024 drought at Stage 4/5. Sundre begins planning. What will you do when your community runs out of water? Even frac’ers are stressed: “They’ve got to draw water from somewhere…they’re saying there’s barely any water.”

Severe Drought, water restrictions for citizens but not frac’ers: Calgarians and Airdronians not allowed to wash windows but oil and gas frac’ers permanently lose billions of gallons of water to the hydrogeological cycle while Alberta Premier Danielle Smith bans clean safe non-water harming solar and wind energy projects. How stupid can Albertans get?

Drought makes California cut water for 4,300 rights holders, some will be entirely without while oil companies continue to remove billions of gallons of water from the hydrogeological cycle via frac’ing, and inject toxic waste into protected aquifers.

My water was directly illegally frac’d by Encana/Ovintiv in 2001 and again in 2004, enabled and covered up by the Alberta gov’t, AER (then EUB) and Alberta Environment the “water regulator” (while eagerly abusing those of us who lost our water).

I am still grieving the loss of what was my abundant well water that was superbly soft and wonderful.

I cannot find the words to describe the pain of that grief which I feel daily and expect I will be forced to endure until I die or lose my mind.
