The UCP should ban it, but they won't. So let's all sign @corblund.bsky.social citizen initiated petition to ban coal mining on the eastern slopes and force the UCP to listen. #mountainsnotmines
"The gov't should immediately reinstate the moratorium and implement a permanent ban on new coal exploration and development across the Eastern Slopes. This would protect critical watersheds and prevent the cycle of legal liability that has already cost us $240M."
Opinion: Alberta's coal policy continues to fail taxpayers
Provinces repeated flip flops on approvals has cost us $240 million and counting.

Today, Alberta introduced Bill 9 and invoked the notwithstanding clause to shield three anti-trans laws from constitutional challenge. These laws deny gender-affirming care to youth, erase 2SLGBTQI identities from schools, and ban trans girls and women from sports.

So they are forcing the same agreement as they already offered - which was rejected and led to the strike.
If the UCP were going to do this all along why didn't they do it 3 weeks ago and avoid the whole strike in the first place?
