Summary
Country singer Corb Lund is racing against time to gather 30,000 signatures before June 10th to force Alberta’s government to either ban new coal mining in the Rockies or put the issue to a province-wide vote — a fight he’s been waging for nearly four months after rules changed and his first petition was invalidated. Frustrated by political flip-flops and loopholes, Lund distrusts the government’s promises, fearing mining will poison water and erode Alberta’s soul. While officials claim mining can be done responsibly, Lund sees it as a threat to millions. The government may even pair his petition with a separatism vote — a move he calls trivializing a critical environmental issue. Exhausted but determined, Lund and his army of volunteers are still pushing forward to protect the Eastern Slopes. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
