It all started when Alberta briefly stripped environmental protections from the Eastern Slopes in 2020, sparking fears for water and ecosystems. Thousands of volunteers rallied, pushing back against projects like Grassy Mountain and Blackstone, which threaten major river headwaters. Though the government later reinstated some protections and promised bans, regulations aren’t finalized—and the petition puts real pressure on them. If Elections Alberta validates the signatures, the government must either pass a coal mining ban or put it to a public vote. Lund admits he’s skeptical the government will act, but this massive public show of force proves Albertans won’t stand for it. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
