  • Drill & Dash: The Oil and Gas Liability Crisis with Martin Olszynski
    Oct 23 2025

    Sara & Ed chat with Martin Olszynski about Alberta's mounting energy liability crisis.


    They discuss the billions in future costs for decommissioning, remediation, and reclamation of oil and gas projects as well as the challenge in accurately quantifying government and public exposure to financial and environmental risk amid profound energy sector disruption.


    The question isn't whether these liabilities will materialize—it's who pays when they do. It's a lively and wide-ranging conversation that sparked a flood of audience questions.
