Musician Corb Lund says protections against coal mining in the Rockies should be nonpartisan issue
As Albertans begin what could be a bitter and divisive election campaign, one of the province’s most popular musicians wants to remind them of an issue that brought everyone together just a couple years ago.
Corb Lund says protections for Rocky Mountains against coal mining should be a nonpartisan issue in the May 29 vote.
He says the United Conservative Party government’s protections are just policy documents that can be withdrawn at the stroke of a pen.
Lund says coal companies are still interested in Alberta, despite the fact almost all the major mine proposals have been withdrawn or rejected.
