"Linderman provided a very reasonable opinion based on his living in the #CrowsnestPass and the beneficial employment a new mine would provide. #Lethbridge City Council expresses the opposite opinion – do not kill the #agricultural industry in southern #Alberta, which, in contrast to the proposed #Northback mine, is much larger and far more sustainable than #coal."

Country singer Corb Lund relaunches provincewide petition to ban new coal mining in Alberta's eastern slopes

Your friendly reminder that Corb Lund’s petition is still going, and check to see if there’s a petition station near you.

Lund said opponents of the Grassy Mountain and Blackstone projects worry they would affect the quality of drinking water from the Oldman and North Saskatchewan rivers due to their respective locations.

A peer-reviewed study published last year found contamination from old coal mines in Alberta had been polluting nearby bodies of water, negatively impacting water quality and aquatic ecosystems.

“It’s already in the sensitive area,” Lund said, referring specifically to the Grassy Mountain project. “There’s already been legacy mining up there decades ago, and there’s already an overwhelming amount of selenium in some of the lakes up there, so the economics of the thing don’t make sense and the conservation elements of it certainly don’t make sense.”
