Some Edmonton landowners are taking a stand by erecting a blockade against what they call a delinquent oil and gas company.
The group says MAGA Energy hasn’t paid its lease for three years and says as a result MAGA employees are no longer allowed on their land.
Landowners Mark Dorin and Dale Braun put up a blockade on their piece of farmland in southwest Edmonton today, where MAGA Energy operates pumpjacks.
Oil and gas companies failing to pay landowners or pay property taxes to municipalities is a long-standing issue in Alberta.
