Like I said, just part of the same long-running pissing match.

Isnt it the City's responsibility and not the province? Maybe I am missing something.
Isnt the sequence of events something like this...
1 - lumber or furniture biz operates on that land and some part of their wood curing process produces creosote which knowingly or unknowingly seeps in the ground.
2 - City buys the land
3 - previous owners no longer have business interests in the province and are HQ in QC
4 - City finds creosote on land - cannot sue because company has no operations in QC
5 - residents across the river freak out because it may have migrated across the river and contaminate their properties so AB environment tests.
6 - not sure who (should be the citys problem since they own the land) but someone pays for mitigation to contain the site to the south side of the river
7 - City doesnt have the money for this cleanup and province is probably like to fkn way is that my problem so city asks province to attempt to sue this company somehow.
8 - Calgary Next...
