Wow this letter should be shared far and wide! I sent a similar one to them yesterday, when they sent a “reply” to my “form letter” (actually a petition) from CPAWS, along with their so-called policy.
Thank heavens for people who use facts and science rather than fiction and wishful thinking. We know what happens when the watershed isn't there and the temperatures and winds keep ramping up. Fort MacMurray knows. Waterton Park knows. Jasper knows. Los Angeles and areas know. I am from the Crowsnest Pass and our fire in 2003 means that many other citizens from this area also know that water is everything. We have all watched how low the rivers and lakes are, not to mention the Old Man Dam reservoir. Northback has sold its story to many who are willing to drink the koolaid but this is so dire and our provincial government is freaking out over a law suit. It is time to man up, UPC, and realize that the hole you're digging yourselves into isn't worth it. I am an Albertan and I oppose these mines.
and pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of the dubiously Honourable Brian Jean, who lives in one of the most polluted watersheds in Canada, recipient in 2013 of the Obed Mine Containment pond breach, which was, at the time, the largest toxic spill into a North American River ever recorded.....the successor corporation was fined $1000000.00.
The largest open pit coal mine in North America operates near Hiinton, a few miles from Jasper National Park, near the headwaters of the Athabasca, one of Canada's "Heritage" Rivers.
Don't poop or otherwise contaminate upstream of where you live.

Hey Denise. Right on the money.
On another note, how would relate to old Joe Coccioloni? He was one of my old fishing pals.
