#Alberta municipalities don't have resources to fight #wildfires because "as of December 2021, $253 million in unpaid taxes had accrued. The RMA is particularly galled that the provincial government allowed companies to avoid municipal taxes on new wells drilled until 2025." https://theconversation.com/alberta-election-is-the-provinces-energy-regulator-acting-in-the-public-interest-204007
