"The impacts on water quality from selenium in the Elk River, BC, now extend downstream for 925 kilometres."
Add prospective Selenium poisoning to the Orphan wells and pipelines, tarsand containment ponds and the "carpet bombing" of subsurface Alberta by fraccing to the ever expanding list of environmental insults to the "Princess Province"!
When Donald Trump threatened Canada and treated our Prime Minister with disrespect, Mark Carney showed us that he is the adult in the room.
He handled the situation perfectly. He responded clearly and succinctly.
He did not whine or cry or thump his chest.
He drew the line.
I joined this fight from Saskatchewan when Jason Kenny, Sonia Savage and Jason Nixon played their game. The game ended when minister Wilkinson put the hammer down and we witnessed the AER capitulating just before the federal decision so they would look good. I then watched the Kenny government and Sonia Savage established the coal policy committee. My thoughts at the time were suspicious of those who would agree to be members of this committee. When I watched Ron Wallace and Sonia Savage deliver their findings, the double talk was clearly evident. It left the door wide open for the UCP government to continue to meddle and write the rules that supported coal mining.
Now I’ve been watching the fight against Danielle Smith and Brian Jean.
I’ve also been watching all those opposed to coal mining do the same thing over and over and again.
Writing letters to MLA‘s who are obviously not not listening. Holding peaceful protests with no success.
Wasting time and energy.
I’ve been posting my question, nearly daily on the Facebook page. Why is no one lobbying the federal government? No one!
I’ve also been following Kevin Turner who has been fighting his fight alone to expose valid reasons why many of the opponents might not be telling the whole truth about why they are in this fight.
This is not primarily about protecting the ecosystem.
Now, disappointingly the council at high River is about to allow a coal mining company the time to state their case. It has been CLEARLY established that they have no case. THERE IS NO SAFETY FOR THE ENVIRONMENT REGARDING COAL MINING. if I were a counsellor at High River I would not allow my time to be wasted by liars and thieves.
Thus far, Mark Carney has spoken about the safety of the environment being a priority. Consultation with first nations being a priority.
He has also very subtely but clearly indicated his displeasure at the actions of Danielle Smith.
I think it’s time for everyone to realize that he and his minister of the environment must be called in once again to shut down the circus.
After Marc Carney wins this election, his government must be begged to step in and shut Danielle Smith and the coal companies down.
They are the only ones with the power to stop this corruption. Those that are seemingly going to lose whatever they have invested in the game and are trying to protect now will just have to suffer the consequences which at that time will probably be exposed.
P.S. should Pierre win this election, so do Danielle Smith and the coal mining companies and our precious water and environment will be damaged, very much to our detriment.
